This is a bit of a derby, the cities of Naples and Salerno are less than an hour's drive.

Napoli almost lead after 67 seconds but Victor Osimhen heads wide from Hirving Lozano's cross.

The roof is going to come off if Napoli score.

Napoli are ninety minutes from immortality.

I can hear a Luciano Pavarotti song blasting out at the Maradona. Emotions = high.

Good omen for Napoli. They have never lost to Salernitana in Serie A - four wins and three draws.

It's a very colourful, noisy stadium as the players line up for the Serie A anthem.

Salernitana were furious about the game being moved.

They are not quite safe from relegation yet, although they sit seven points above the bottom three.

Napoli's midweek game was moved to Thursday but Salernitana have to face Fiorentina on Wednesday.

Owner Danilo Iervolino said: "It sets a very dangerous precedent.

"No-one has thought about our needs.

"The dignity of one team has been trampled on in favour of another team's... I hope it never happens again."

This game was meant to be played yesterday afternoon.

But the Naples authorities were worried about a double celebration so got it moved until today.

Yesterday's game would have clashed with a huge comic book convention which drew large crowds, causing a policing issue.

And then there was the concern of them celebrating yesterday if they won this game - and then again today if Lazio didn't win and they'd sealed the title.

A bit of extra history up for grabs too. No team have ever won the Serie A title with six games to go.

Napoli's journeyman boss Luciano Spalletti is on the verge of winning his first Serie A title at the age of 64.

"It's above all about them [fans] who we should be thinking about... Let's think about them because they've had the joy of watching a group of committed players who give everything for them," added Spalletti.

"They have shown a lot for us, and have been really important in us having such an exciting end of season."

The Vesuvius National Park Authority have asked fans not to celebrate on top of Europe's last remaining active volcano.

Some fans had suggested setting off a small artillery's worth of flares on the volcano to simulate an eruption.

Opposition fans often insult Naples with chants about Mount Vesuvius "washing with fire" the city.

The park have called the idea "dangerous and not feasible" and asked local authorities to stop any intrusion on the fragile ecosystem.

Napoli are 17 points above Lazio with seven games to go (six for Lazio).

So win today and it's done. Win any game and it's done. So even if they fail to get the job done today, they would just need to win at Udinese on Thursday.

My colleague Alex Bysouth went to Naples a few weeks ago to pick up the vibe in the city.

Watch the Football Focus piece below or read his article here.

Most of Napoli's stars of the season start today including top scorer Victor Osimhen.

Napoli: Meret, Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Min-jae, Olivera, Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski, Lozano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia.

Salernitana: Ochoa, Daniliuc, Gyomber, Pirola, Mazzocchi, Vilhena, Coulibaly, Bradaric, Kastanos, Candreva, Dia.

Kick-off is about 20 minutes away but the stands at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona are already full.

There were very loud cheers as the Lazio result was read out.

"Inter Milan three" *cheers* "Lazio one" *deafening roar*

It is apt that an Argentine number 10 has helped set up this moment.

Lautaro Martinez scored twice in the final 15 minutes as Inter Milan came from behind to beat Lazio 3-1 - in a game that just finished a few minutes ago.

Had Lazio won, then Napoli couldn't have sealed the title today.

Lazio are 17 points behind Napoli with six games to go.

Napoli are a club forever linked with the late, great Diego Maradona.

In their 96-year history they have won Serie A twice, in 1987 and 1990, both during Maradona's seven-year spell with the club.

They also won the Uefa Cup and a Coppa Italia in that time.

In the 89 years without the Argentine, they have won five Italian Cups but nothing else.

So how apt that two years after changing their stadium name to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, they are set to end that drought.

Napoli have had to wait 33 years. They might only have to wait two more hours.

Luciano Spalletti's side are on the verge of their first Serie A title since 1990.

Win today against Salernitana and they are the champions of Italy.
