In Italy tonight, current hipster favourites, and Serie 'A' top two, Roma and Napoli face-off at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Napoli's impressive start to the season under Rafa Benitez isn't exactly a surprise considering the money they've spent and the quality of the players they brought in over the summer but Roma's 100% start to the season has been more unexpected considering the sales of Pablo Osvaldo and Erik Lamela to the Premier League and Marquinhos to PSG.

Those players were replaced under the radar however, with the like of Morgan di Sanctis, Gervinho, Kevin Strootman and Maicon coming in under new coach Rudi Garcia, who had previously been so successful with Lille, and of course, Roma also have Fancesco Totti rolling back the years.

Gazzetta Dello Sport are not olivious to the hype and significance of the game and the impact of the league's hottest new managers, so they decided to publish this image of Garcia as 50 cent and Rafa Benitez as somebody I'm assured is known as Freeman.
