Napoli defence rethink: Favasuli eyed on the left
Saturday's 3-2 at San Siro was never on Rai — Serie A rights belong to Dazn and Sky. The real story is Allegri weighing a switch to accommodate new signing Favasuli.
Anyone searching for the Inter-Napoli game on Rai was out of luck: Italy's state broadcaster holds no Serie A rights this season. Dazn shows every match of every round, with Sky/NOW carrying three games a week — Rai has none.
The real news is defensive. Napoli have conceded five goals in their last two games, against Como and Inter. Allegri is considering moving Di Lorenzo into a back-three role to free up the left flank for new signing Favasuli as a wing-back. Rrahmani would stay in the centre, with one spot still open between Beukema, Rafa Marín and Marianucci.

It will not happen on Wednesday, though. Against Arsenal at the Maradona in the Champions League, Allegri is not experimenting: a back four in front of Meret looks likely, with Di Lorenzo and Rrahmani certain starters and the only open battles being Amir's centre-back partner and Spinazzola against Olivera on the left.
