Napoli preview: Looking to extend their winning streak
Napoli marked their Serie A defence with a comfortable 2-0 win over newly promoted side Sassuolo, with Scott McTominay and summer arrival Kevin De Bruyne bagging the goals. They will again push for all three points when they take on Cagliari at home on Saturday.

Player to watch: Scott McTominay
Scott McTominay opened the scoring in Napoli's Serie A opener last season, extending his run of goal contributions to three games. The former Manchester United player also drew first blood the last time these teams clashed. He will fancy his chances against Cagliari once again.
