The race for the top four is tighter than ever and Stefano Pioli switches back to the 4-2-3-1 formation after experimenting a three-man defence for the last month. [You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Roma-Sampdoria on the LIVEBLOG.](https://football-italia.net/serie-a-liveblog-napoli-milan-roma-sampdoria-monza-lazio-and-more/) [Napoli](/teams/napoli) bring in Giovanni Simeone for injured Victor Osimhen to partner Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, while Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao lead a [Milan](/teams/milan) return to their old tactics in this massive showdown.

SIMEONE FLASHES EFFORT OVER. The home side hit back immediately and Simeone has a half-chance after a cross finds him in space from the left.

It's a little behind him and he just can't get his foot around it enough to keep it down and hit the target. The striker hasn't scored in 11 games but shows no signs of rust, chipping Meret to put Milan ahead. Diaz does brilliantly on the right touchline and drives forward before playing a perfect ball into Leao. He tries to pick out Simeone but the referee blows for a harsh handball. The Milan defence recover well to flood the box and snuff out the danger. Leao picks it up on the left and muscles past Politano, who falls to the ground claiming he's been elbowed.
