Veteran striker Romelu Lukaku has been a standout for Napoli this season, contributing 11 goals and 8 assists.
Napoli welcome relegation-threatened Empoli in a crucial Serie A clash on Monday evening. Currently sitting second in the standings with 65 points from 31 games, Napoli are firmly in the hunt for the Scudetto. Antonio Conte’s side trail league leaders Inter by just six points with a game in hand. A win here would not only keep pressure on the Nerazzurri but also create breathing room over third-placed Atalanta, who are within striking distance at 61 points.
Empoli, on the other hand, are in a dangerous position in 18th position. With just 24 points from 31 games, they are two points adrift of safety and fighting desperately to avoid the drop. Their recent form has been worrying, with just one win in their last five outings and a total of only four victories all season.
