Roma take on Serie A leaders Napoli on Sunday with their third head coach of the season in charge.
The Giallorossi started the campaign with club legend Daniele De Rossi at the helm but after a poor start to the season, he was surprisingly replaced by Ivan Juric. During the international break, Ranieri came in to replace Juric for his third spell in charge.
Match Preview
Napoli Recent Form
Napoli's assault on the Scudetto was relentless as they went on a run of eight victories and a draw out of nine, but the title challenge has hit a blip recently as they are without a win in two.
They suffered a surprise 2-0 home defeat to Atalanta and then drew 1-1 away at Inter.
They remain in top spot, one point ahead of a chasing pack of four.
Napoli Injury News
Romelu Lukaku suffered a knee injury on international duty with Belgium and although it isn't serious, he remains a doubt for this one, though Scott McTominay should be fine despite suffering discomfort in his foot during Scotland versus Poland.
