Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti admits Monday night's clash with Roma will be decisive in the title race.

Napoli need victory to stay in the title race.

Spalletti said, "We can't play other people's games, it becomes dangerous to spend energy on other teams' games. We could try not to lose the previous one, but that one went too and it reduces our chances. Our intentions don't change, we go to win the game whoever the opponent.

“It's a challenge for us, as we are for them, the team that feels most threatened, that has the perception of danger, the one that controls the match the most will win.

“You don't win with 'come on, let's go', but by doing what you have to do against a strong opponent."
