Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games, Empoli-Inter, Juventus-Parma, Atalanta-Monza and Venezia-Udinese.
The midweek round continues at 17.30 GMT with Inter visiting tough to beat Empoli and a local derby between Venezia and Udinese.
At 19.45 GMT, Juventus hope to build some momentum against Parma and Atalanta are a goal-machine with Monza.
Udinese chance, but the header is steered wide of the near post by Iker Bravo.
Inter close
Dimarco corner finds the head of Lautaro Martinez, it’s just wide of the far post and above all just past Thuram!
41′
Venezia 1-2 Udinese: Joel Pohjanpalo penalty!
Pohjanpalo had missed his first and so far only Serie A penalty, but he converted this one. Just about, because Kayode guessed the right angle, but couldn’t get to it.
40′
Penalty for Venezia!
Pohjanpalo runs onto the through ball from Duncan and is ready to shoot when Giannetti bundles into the back of him. Does not get the ball, yellow card and penalty.
Vasquez can’t get his glove to the Dimarco cross, but Viti does nod it away from danger.
38′
Cacace booked for stopping an Inter attack.
Empoli try to counter-attack anyway with Maleh, but the slide-rule pass is intercepted.
Inter chance
Ferocious Dimarco free kick beaten away by Vasquez.
31′
Red card! Saba Goglichidze sent off!
Inevitable, that was SO high.
VAR!
Goglichidze raked the studs down Thuram’s shin more than stamped, but it was still very high and studs-up.
29′
Giglichidze booked and Thuram is in a LOT of pain there. It was very high….
That might need VAR.
Udinese chance
Almost 3-0! Stankovic this time gets down for a strong one-handed save on Lorenzo Lucca’s low drive!
25′
Venezia 0-2 Udinese: Iker Bravo!
He assisted the first – in fairness was probably trying to set it up for himself, but Lovric took over anyway – and now scores.
Poor clearance from Stankovic, Bijol intercepts and Iker Bravo drills a daisy-cutter through the defender’s legs into the near bottom corner!
19′
Venezia 0-1 Udinese: Sandri Lovric!
Complaints here too over a tackle at the start of the move, then Lovric surged through the centre, combined with Iker Bravo and swept in with the inside of the boot!
20′
VAR: Disallowed!
Yep, handball was Darmian.
19′
Empoli 0-1 Inter: Matteo Darmian!
Empoli arguing that was handball, and it hit someone’s hand in there… Mkhitaryan to Lautaro, through ball for Darmian, whose first touch took a ricochet off the Empoli defender, then off him, before he managed to bundle it past Vasquez.
Dimarco snapshot charged down too by the Empoli defenders.
Inter promising move, but Thuram’s control and volley charged down by Ismajli.
Karlstrom error gifts it to Yeboah on the edge of his own area, who in turn lets Udinese off the hook with a weak finish.
What a save from Vasquez!
Oooh! Inter with a massive chance, Dimarco’s free kick hits Ismajli, completely changing the direction of the ball, but Vasquez manages to acrobatically claw it out of the top corner!
