There is little to choose between Napoli and Cremonese on paper, and the Serie A encounter should reflect that balance. Napoli have been picking up results at a respectable clip, WLLW over their last five with a season win rate of 50%. The visitors will travel in the hope that a change of scene can spark a turnaround, whatever the form book says. Tim Sherwood makes his predictions for the new Premier League season, including who he thinks will make the top four in the table.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Napoli may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Cremonese have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. There is interest in adding another forward player who can play in one of those wide No 10 roles behind the striker in the 3-4-2-1 formation that Sage is expected to continue with at Selhurst Park.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points.
