Paulo Fonseca, the Roma manager, is pleased with his side's form and he praised Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who grabbed a brace against Parma.
“We played really well, especially in the first half – when we scored three goals and we could have scored even more," Fonseca said.
"I think the team is in good form right now. In the second half we managed the game, but we still created chances to add to the scoreline.
"Mkhitaryan is a really clever footballer, a great professional, he can cover a few different positions and he has the perfect attitude. So it hasn’t surprised me the way he’s been able to perform.”
The last meeting between Napoli and Roma in a league match was on 5 July 2020.
The Little Donkeys secured a 2-1 win over the She-Wolf in an encounter which was played at the Stadio San Paolo.
