Napoli are without ex-Chelsea midfielders Kevin de Bruyne and Billy Gilmour but Romelu Lukaku is fit enough to make the bench.
Antonio Conte’s team also feature ex-Manchester United players Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund as starters.
They have only named five outfield substitutes on their bench amid an injury crisis.
Napoli XI: Meret, Buongiorno, Juan Jesus, Spinazzola, Di Lorenzo, Lobotka, McTominay, Vergara, Elmas, Olivera, Hojlund
Subs: Contini, Spinelli, Gutierrez, Lukaku, Beukema, De Chiara, Garafalo
Chelsea have opted to play Reece James at centre-back in a curious tactical switch from manager Liam Rosenior.
It opens up the possibility the Blues have matches up Napoli to play a back three.
