All the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games, Genoa-Parma, Venezia-Inter, Bologna-Roma and Napoli-Verona.
We begin at 11.30 GMT with Genoa and Parma both eager not to slide into the danger zone.
Inter try to shake off Supercoppa disappointment with a trip to revitalised Venezia at 14.00 GMT.
There is an intriguing mid-table battle between Bologna and Roma at 17.00 GMT, then Napoli seek revenge against Verona at 19.45 GMT.
These teams met at San Siro on November 3 and the only goal was a Lautaro Martinez header, but Venezia saw a late equaliser disallowed.
Eusebio Di Francesco (Venezia) on DAZN
“We are coming off some positive results and very good performances, although the most recent was below the previous ones. The biggest problem we have right now is that we’re a bit short-staffed due to injuries and transfer situations. It is a difficult match, some might even say prohibitively difficult, but we will give it our all.
“I used the footage of our last game against Inter to motivate the squad, because the identity and mentality of Simone Inzaghi’s side remains the same. We came so close to an equaliser and it proved we can do it. What I want now is to see more consistency from my team throughout the game.
“Just as Inter are fired up by losing the Supercoppa, we have other targets, but they are equally important. We too want to bring home a positive result at all costs.”
Into 5 minutes of stoppages.
Genoa are looking closer to a goal than Parma in these closing stages. Sabelli cross from the right for Kassa, this time the shot is on target and Suzuki palms it over the bar.
Ekhator was offside anyway, but also made a total mess of the finish and fired straight at Suzuzki.
84′
Mandela Keita off, Anas Haj Mohamed on for Parma.
83′
Zanoli off with cramp for Genoa, Sabelli on.
79′
Thorsby and Miretti off for Genoa, Masini and Ekhator on. Balotelli has been warming up for ages.
74′
Parma are pouring everything forward, series of corners, but then Parma have penalty appeals for Bani’s high boot on Valenti, the foul is given against them for a hand in the face, Delprato booked for dissent.
Venezia vs. Inter line-ups
Venezia: Stankovic; Idzes, Sverko, Altare; Zampano, Busio, Nicolussi Caviglia, Doumbia, Ellertsson; Oristanio, Pohjanpalo
Inter: Sommer; Darmian, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Asllani, Zielinski, Carlos Augusto; Taremi, Lautaro Martinez
72′
Hernani and Mihaila off for Parma, Camara and Man on.
Again, his name is Dennis Man, we’re not just being vague.
Valeri cross for the Cancellieri header, but it’s easy for Genoa goalkeeper Leali.
65′
Genoa 1-0 Parma: Morten Frendrup!
He’ll take that, even though it wasn’t entirely intended!
Miretti inspired pass between two for Frendrup, who was trying to shoot for the near post, it took a MASSIVE deflection off Delprato and looped up into the far top corner as Suzuki scrambled across.
64′
Kasa booked for bringing down Mandela Keita.
A tad confusing that his official name is Kasa, but he has Kassa on the back of his jersey…
Valenti wins it back in midfield, but Sohm balloons well over from distance. He had much better options.
59′
Balogh limping for Parma. He already had tape on his calf, so evidently not a new injury.
Balogh and Almqvist off, Cancellieri and Hainaut on.
Poor Parma clearance to the edge of the area, but Kassa blasts high, wide and awful.
Genoa attack down the right, Zanoli cross-shot parried with difficulty by Suzuki, who as always never looks quite reassuring in goal.
Parma counter, cross floated for Almqvist on the edge of the area, he scuffs the volley, but it bobbles dangerously and Leali pushes it round the post.
Zanoli cross charged down by Keita, appeals for handball, but VAR waves play on.
46′
2nd half kicks off: Genoa 0-0 Parma
No further changes after the Badelj injury.
Half-Time: Genoa 0-0 Parma
All square at the break at Marassi.
45′
Badelj off, Kasa on for Genoa.
