After posting six wins from seven before the international break, Napoli aim to pick up where they left off in Serie A's Sunday lunchtime contest, as they visit Empoli at Stadio Carlo Castellani.

Napoli:

Napoli return from the international break aiming to extend their winning run in Serie A as they visit Empoli on Sunday. Under Antonio Conte’s guidance, the Partenopei have been in terrific form, securing six wins from their last seven matches. A 3-1 victory over Como, where summer signings Scott McTominay, Romelu Lukaku, and David Neres scored, pushed Napoli to the top of the Serie A table. They now sit two points clear of reigning champions Inter Milan. Conte has revitalized the squad, combining fresh signings with improved tactical play, and Napoli are looking to win four consecutive league games for the first time in over a year. However, they must overcome their poor record at Stadio Carlo Castellani, where they have won just twice in 11 trips.

Empoli:

Empoli have been solid under new management, unbeaten at home so far this season, and they will hope to maintain that streak against high-flying Napoli. Despite a 2-1 defeat to Lazio before the break, Roberto D’Aversa’s men remain a tough side to beat, sitting 10th in Serie A with 10 points. They have drawn all three of their home fixtures 0-0, and another clean sheet would see them set a unique record for goalless draws in their first four home games. Empoli’s recent form against Napoli is strong, having won five of their last seven league meetings, and they’ll look to extend that impressive run in front of their home crowd on Sunday.
