Napoli vs Chelsea: Champions League preview
Former Chelsea boss Conte must conjure up a plan to beat his former employers in Naples on Wednesday evening.
The Italian outfit have had a group-stage campaign to forget so far, winning just two of their previous seven games.
It hasn't been an ideal week of preparation either, with Napoli beaten 3-0 by Juventus, as their grip on the Serie A title begins to fade.
That defeat in Turin followed last weeks poor draw with 10-man Copenhagen in the penultimate matchday of the league phase, with work to do as the Blues arrive in town.
Napoli must win in order to give them the best possible chance of progressing to the knockout stages, with it unknown if a draw would be enough, given every team is also in action.

Chelsea are hoping to avoid a two-legged play-off tie with victory against Napoli.
Having beaten Crystal Palace 3-1 at Selhurst Park at the weekend, the Blues will be hoping for more of the same.
Chelsea, must, however, overcome a poor record in previous visits to Italy in European competition, having won just two of 13 such matches, losing eight of those.
Cole Palmer's involvement remains a mystery, with the England international having missed out against the Eagles, but the good news he did travel with the team to south of the country.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Napoli 1-2 Chelsea
Conte has a whole host of key absences, with Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku both out. We think it'll be Chelsea who win this one.
