This is a special reunion for Fabregas and his former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte.
Jayden Addai is the only remaining absentee for Fabregas, because Sergi Roberto, Mergim Vojvoda and Nico Paz all shake off knocks after their 2-0 victory away to Genoa.
Tasos Douvikas leads the attack rather than Alvaro Morata, with support from Nico Paz, Baturina and Assane Diao.
Lucas Da Cunha and Maximo Perrone pull the midfield strings, as they try to keep European ambitions alive.

(Photo by Francesco Pecoraro/Getty Images) Napoli saw the dream of retaining their Scudetto disappear after a draw at Parma and defeat to Lazio, but kept hold of second place with their 4-0 thrashing of Cremonese.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo is back on the bench for the first time, three months after a knee ligament injury, meaning only David Neres, Antonio Vergara and Romelu Lukaku are still out of action.
McTominay, Stanislav Lobotka and Matteo Politano are in midfield, with De Bruyne and Alisson Santos supporting Hojlund.
The only change from the side that beat Cremonese is Sam Beukema replacing Matias Olivera in defence.
Napoli were knocked out of the Coppa Italia quarter-final by Como in a penalty shoot-out in February, and haven’t beaten them since a 3-1 home result in October 2024.

What happened
The article confirms the official line-ups for Como vs Napoli in Serie A, with Como sitting fifth and Napoli second ahead of kickoff. Como are close to full strength, with Nico Paz, Sergi Roberto and Mergim Vojvoda recovered from knocks, while Jayden Addai remains absent. Napoli make just one change from the side that beat Cremonese 4-0, as Sam Beukema replaces Matias Olivera in defence. Giovanni Di Lorenzo is back on the bench after three months out, but David Neres, Antonio Vergara and Romelu Lukaku remain unavailable.
Chance analysis
This matters because it is confirmed pre-match lineup information rather than speculation, which directly affects team strength assumptions. Como field an attacking setup with Paz and Baturina behind Douvikas, while Napoli’s selection keeps their recent core intact and adds stability with minimal rotation. Di Lorenzo’s bench return is a positive squad-depth signal for Napoli, even if it does not immediately change the starting XI.
The likely effect is stable pre-match expectations, with Napoli close to their recent preferred structure and Como also near full strength at home.
Treat this as high-value confirmed lineup news that slightly boosts confidence in both teams’ expected tactical setups and availability assumptions.
