Napoli vs Cremonese live stream: watch Coppa Italia online and on TV from anywhere, team news

League leaders Napoli welcome struggling Cremonese to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona for tonight's Coppa Italia round-of-16 clash. Napoli haven't won the cup since 2014 but will have their eyes on an historic double. Can Cremonese throw a spanner in the works? The match is free-to-air on Italy's Canale 5. Here's how to watch a Napoli vs Cremonese free live stream from anywhere.

Since losing their first domestic game of the season against Inter two weeks ago, Napoli have been on a mission to prove it was a one-off. Sampdoria were despatched four days later, but Luciano's Spalletti's side saved their best for Juventus, who were thrashed 5-1 in Naples last Friday night – a result that was all the more impressive considering their opponents hadn't even conceded a Serie A goal since losing away to AC Milan at the start of October. Can Gli Azzurri follow it up with another big home win here?

Spalletti has chosen to rest some of his key performers tonight, with Osimhen, Anguissa and Zielinski on the bench, while Georgian sensation Kvaratskhelia is left out completely. It means starts for players such as Raspadori, Simeone and on-loan Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.   

Cremonese find themselves rooted to the bottom of the Serie A table and well adrift of safety at the halfway stage. The Lombardy-based side are yet to win a league game this season. Their only victories have come in the Coppa Italia, defeating Serie B's Ternana and Modena in the previous two rounds, with extra time needed to eliminate the latter. La Cremo come into this game on a run of four straight defeats, most recently losing 3-2 at home to mid-table Monza. Can they turn things around and pull off a huge shock in Naples?

Ballardini has also chosen to make a number of changes to his squad, with only goalkeeper Carnesecchi, Bianchetti, Quagliata, Pickel and Okereke keeping their spots from the weekend defeat to Monza.  

The winner plays Roma in the quarterfinal. Read on as we explain how to watch a Napoli vs Cremonese live stream for the Coppa Italia round of 16.
