Stability will be the key for Kawasaki Frontale, who won back-to-back titles in 2017 and 2018 but faltered last season to finish fourth, while three-time champions Sanfrecce Hiroshima will look to improve on last year's sixth-place finish.

Ancelotti returns to his former club trying to solve all of those problems, while Napoli's big names are unsurprisingly linked with January exits. It's far from a happy camp and that hands a vital lifeline to Milan. The hosts have lost narrowly to each of Roma, Lazio and Juventus of late, but they are among the league's form teams. Milan should prefer facing a Napoli side who have won just twice in their last eight Serie A trips, having scored four in each of their two away league wins this term.
Their chances of picking up anything from this game are slim though. Not only have they lost their last two encounters with Sivasspor, but this Sivasspor side are the only team in the Super Lig to have an intact unbeaten home record. Sivasspor have won nine of their 14 matches the Sivas Stadium this season and that includes victories over fifth-placed Besiktas and Trabzonspor.

The win over Belgian champions Genk was Napoli's first in nine games - but ultimately his last - and he left with last season's Serie A runners-up seventh in the table, 17 points behind leaders Inter Milan.
