Napoli still need to play the Turin club, and a triumph here will mean the title race is back on.

Prediction

Milan could only manage a draw against Sassuolo last weekend, failing to take advantage of both Roma and Inter dropping points. They can no longer make a challenge for fourth place now, but wouldn’t have been in the conversation had they not undergone an astounding revival in form since Gattuso took over.

Napoli have not looked convincing in recent weeks, having to come from behind to beat Chievo 2-1 last weekend. They are still at a much higher level than Milan though, and Milan’s absence of their two first choice centrebacks will hinder them here.

Prediction: Milan 1-2 Napoli
