Como, on the other hand, won the last two Serie A matches and have eight points in six games.
Both Conte and Fabregas are expected to confirm the teams that secured victories in the previous round.
This means that the home side will line up with a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Scott McTominay playing as an attacking midfielder and Romelu Lukaku in attack.
Fabregas will pick Alieu Fadera for the left wing and Patrick Cutrone in attack. The former Milan striker is the current Serie A leading scorer with four goals, as many as those scored by Dusan Vlahovic, Marcus Thuram, Mateo Retegui and Christian Pulisic.
Napoli are without the injured Alex Meret, while Como must cope without Federico Barba and Alberto Cerri.
