Inter Milan vs. Napoli 2016: Start time, TV schedule, live stream, and 3 things to know

Two of Serie A's chief underperformers go head-to-head on Friday, with Napoli welcoming Inter Milan to the Stadio San Paolo. The Neapolitan outfit head into this match down in seventh in the table, having so far failed to live up to last season's second place finish. They've won only one of their last six encounters in all competitions, and the pressure is mounting on coach Maurizio Sarri.

Inter, meanwhile, are a place and four points lower in the table, with their disappointing opening having already cost former coach Frank de Boer his job. He's been swiftly replaced by ex-Lazio man Stefano Pioli, who masterminded a 4-2 victory over Fiorentina on Monday. Inter will be hoping their shakeup will catalyse a good run of form, though it's still too early to know if it will work.

1. Napoli will be without star striker Arkadiusz Milik, who faces a long spell on the sidelines after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament. However, their only other absentee is Belgian attacker Dries Mertens, who will miss this one through suspension.

2. Inter's injury problems are greater in number, but perhaps lesser in impact. Coach Pioli will be without Gary Medel, Rodrigo Palacio and Davide Santon, but will still be able to name effectively a full-strength team.
