- 58' The game is opening up now. Roma have had a couple of half chances but it's Napoli dominating possession.

- 45'. We are back underway for the second half. But before kickoff, Mourinho was seen having a word with the referee? What could that be?

- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with the first chance of the game, but Rui Patricio was able to push his effort wide for a corner kick, which Roma defended safely.
- As expected, Napoli are on the front foot with Roma happy to sit back. It could be a long night for Mourinho's men.
- KICK OFF At the Maradona
- Below you can see the current situation of things. Roma currently sit in sixth place, but they are only just one point off third place and two off second place. So a win tonight, would see Mourinho's men go second.

- Team news are out. Serie A leading scorer leads the line for Napoli, but there's no room for Nicolo Zaniolo in Roma's squad after asking to leave the club. Mourinho confirmed Zaniolo will play no further part for Roma this season.
