    FT: Napoli 1-2 Juventus - The hosts come up just short in a crazy game at the San Paolo stadium. Napoli were reduced to 10 men after just 25 minutes when goalkeeper Alex Meret was sent off for bringing down Cristiano Ronaldo. Miralem Pjanic scored from the resulting free-kick before Emre Can made it two just before the break. Pjanic himself was then sent off for a second yellow early in the second half, and Napoli had the chance to equalise from the penalty spot with 10 minutes to go, but Lorenz

    The ball's launched into the Juventus box, everyone goes up for it, but it's headed away.
  • 94'
    Alex Sandro battles hard near the corner flag but eventually concedes a goal-kick. Last attack for Napoli may well be coming up...
  • 93'
    A cross from Insigne flies out of play. That could be that for Napoli, who have fought hard but look like they're going to come up short.

    FIVE minutes added on. Given the number of stoppages we've had I'm surprised it's not more.
  • 88'
    A big fight has broken out between the two sets of players. Juventus' Rodrigo Bentancur and Napoli's Allan receive yellows for their part in the bust-up.

    NAPOLI CHANCE - Zielinski, who has been a livewire all game, beats Juventus' Matteo De Sciglio all ends up and fires a shot across goal, but Szczesny is on hand to tip away.
  • 68'
    The home side are enjoying a lot of possession in the final third but aren't creating any clear openings.

    Expect Napoli to throw the kitchen sink at Juventus in the remaining 25 minutes.

    GOOOOAAALL FOR NAPOLI!! Lorenzo Insigne whips a ball in from the left and Callejon is on hand to poke into the roof of the net. Game on!
  • 59'
    Being in his mid-thirties doesn't seem to trouble Cristiano Ronaldo as he completely outpaces Napoli's Nikola Maksimovic as the pair chase a through ball. But the defender can dive to hook the ball from in front of the Portuguese forward.
  • 56'
    Napoli have their first attack of the half and cross into the Juventus box but Wojciech Szczesny catches with ease.

    HT: Napoli 0-2 Juventus - A red card for goalkeeper Alex Meret has made this an extremely difficult task for the hosts. Juventus' Miralem Pjanic scored direct from the resulting free-kick, before Emre Can headed in a second. It would take something miraculous for Napoli to come back here, but then, miracles do happen.
  • 43'
    But it would qualify as comeback of the season if they turned this one around.
  • 41'
    Still they attack though, leaving themselves very open to any Juventus breakaways.

    GOOOOAAALL FOR JUVENTUS!! The visitors swing a cross in from the right, and Emre Can is waiting to head towards goal. His attempt takes a slight deflection off Napoli's Elseid Hysaj on its way into the net. An unfortunate few minutes for the hosts, and they now trail by two goals.

  • 30'
    Napoli strike back, and have a couple of very dangerous breaks snuffed out at the last. Strong reaction!

    So it's 1st v 2nd, and naturally this game could have a huge bearing on the Serie A title race. Napoli trail Juventus by 13 points, and a defeat today would effectively wrap the title up for the visitors. But Carlo Ancelotti's men will do everything in their power to stop them - can they pull off an unlikely triumph this evening?
  • PRVW
    The big news there is that Ronaldo starts for Juventus. He had been a doubt with an ankle problem, but he returns to play on the left of the side's attack today.

    And for tonight's visitors, Juventus: Szczesny; Cancelo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Emre Can, Pjanic, Matuidi; Bernardeschi, Mandzukic, Ronaldo.
