Napoli are leading Serie A with three games left to play, and for their fans and manager, that is the only focus for the next couple of weeks.

Antonio Conte's side have a three-point lead over Inter in the table, but even after a season which has exceeded all expectations at Napoli, there is constant media speculation over whether he will remain at the club next season.

At a press conference before Sunday's home match against Genoa, Conte was asked if the Napoli fans were asking him questions about his future.

"Trust me, the fans in this moment don't ask me this question," Conte said with a smile.

"The fans, apart from thanking me, they ask if we will win. And I answer that we will certainly try, as we are doing. This is their only question.

"The rest? It's boredom, Franco Califano, 'Everything else is boredom'."

Napoli are given an 88.5% chance of lifting the Scudetto by the Opta supercomputer, with Inter's chances of a late turnaround currently sitting at 11.5%.

After five consecutive defeats between 2007 and 2009, Napoli have lost only two of their last 28 matches against Genoa in Serie A, winning 18 and drawing eight. 

Napoli are also on a four-match winning streak without conceding a goal in Serie A, looking to complete five in a row for their first time in the competition's history.

The Partenopei will kick off against Genoa knowing Inter's result away to Torino as they kick off earlier on Sunday.

"Regardless, there will be pressure; we have to be good at directing it in a positive manner, as long as it is a help to remain concentrated, have desire and motivation," Conte said.

"I think the final two games we will play at the same time, and that will be even better.

"Playing first, playing later, we know that nothing will change, we have to think about our game."

Conte also gave an update on the injury situation, noting that Napoli could be boosted by some returns.

"[Stanislav] Lobotka returned to the group yesterday, he trained again today, there is still a fitness test tomorrow morning to make the best decision," Conte said.

"[David] Neres was back training partially yesterday, I think he can be called up for the bench, also to savour the atmosphere again.

"[Alessandro] Buongiorno is still at a standstill, and Juan Jesus, who is dying to return, he says he is ready, but the doctors are holding him back."

Napoli have conceded the fewest goals (25) and recorded the most clean sheets (17) in the big five European Leagues this season.

Only twice before have they kept more shutouts in a Serie A campaign with 20 teams in the competition: in 2022-23 (18) and 2017-18 (19).

Conte was asked what the key has been for Napoli this season to bounce back from last year's poor showing.

"It all depends and starts from the head," Conte replied.

"Then what the fans ask of us, the heart, ours cannot be doubted, and then there are the legs, which must be trained. But what moves everything is the head."
