Roma host Napoli in Serie A this afternoon as the two Italian heavyweights clash for the first time this season.

Roma will be hoping to leapfrog Atalanta into third place as they look to maintain their bright start to the current campaign. On Wednesday night they thrashed Udinese 4-0, while last weekend they saw off AC Milan at home.

Napoli will meanwhile be without manager Carlo Ancelotti on the touchline, after he was shown a red card in the club’s 2-2 draw with Atalanta. A win would see Napoli leapfrog Roma and move into fourth – follow live coverage below.

Roma 2-1 Napoli

90' - Six minutes of time added on! Still a chance for Napoli here to fashion another chance or two. Zielinkski curls one from the edge of the box, but it's just wide.

90+3' - Napoli frustrated by what they see as time-wasting tactics from Roma. Cengiz Under is the latest to be shown a yellow card.

Roma 2-1 Napoli

90+5' - RED CARD! Cetin has had a bit of a nightmare today and now he's sent off, holding down Llorente on the edge of the box and that's a second yellow. Big shooting chance for Napoli, too.

Roma 2-1 Napoli

90+6' - The free-kick is taken by Milik...but it's flicked off the wall and over. That might be it.

Full time!

Roma 2-1 Napoli

Roma do just enough to hold on for the win and they are up to third place! A big three points thanks to Zaniolo's wondergoal and Veretout's penalty.

We also had a Milik goal, a missed Kolarov penalty, a red card for Cetin...it has certainly been eventful!
