Team News: Gonzalo Higuain returns for Napoli against Juventus

Higuain returns for Napoli

Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain has been restored to the starting lineup for his side's Serie A clash with leaders Juventus this evening.

Higuain was left on the bench for Wednesday's 4-2 win over Catania, coming on for the final 11 minutes as Rafael Benitez's side eased to a comfortable victory.

The Argentine is one of four changes for Napoli from that midweek win, with Raul Albiol, Faouzi Ghoulam and Gokhan Inler also coming into the side.

Juventus, meanwhile, have made just the one change to the side that edged past 10-man Parma on Wednesday, with goalscorer Carlos Tevez missing out through suspension.

Pablo Osvaldo comes in for the former Manchester City striker as Juventus look to move 14 points clear at the top of the table.

Napoli: Reina; Albiol, Henrique, Fernandez, Ghoulam; Inler, Hamsik, Jorginho; Higuain, Callejon, Insigne

Juventus: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Chiellini, Caceres; Pirlo, Vidal, Asamoah, Pogba; Llorente, Osvaldo
