This page will update live with the latest relevant news, no need to refresh the page!

Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s five Serie A games, Napoli-Verona, Bologna-Atalanta, Parma-Inter, Lazio-Fiorentina and Torino-Udinese.

We begin at 17.30 GMT (18.30 CET) with Napoli hosting struggling Hellas Verona and a Bologna-Atalanta battle for Europe.

The other fixtures all kick off at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET), as Inter try to maintain leadership visiting Cristian Chivu’s old club Parma, Lazio face Fiorentina and Torino take on Udinese.

Raffaele Palladino assures Sky Sport Italia the Scamacca injury is “nothing serious, but with so many games, we preferred not to risk losing him for longer.”

This is a real head-to-head for European places, as the Rossoblu have just two points from the last five Serie A rounds, despite reaching the Supercoppa Italiana Final.

Lukasz Skorupski and Federico Bernardeschi are still out of action, but Riccardo Orsolini returns to the starting XI after defeat to Inter.

La Dea are revitalised under Raffaele Palladino and beat Roma at the weekend, but lost Gianluca Scamacca and Sead Kolasinac to new injuries, with Raoul Bellanova and Mitchel Bakker already out, plus Ademola Lookman and Odilon Kossounou at AFCON.

Bologna: Ravaglia; Zortea, Vitik, Heggem, Miranda; Freuler, Ferguson; Orsolini, Fabbian, Cambiaghi; Dallinga

Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Djimsiti, Ahanor; Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Bernasconi; De Ketelaere, Zalewski; Krstovic

Napoli make rare changes as they host relegation-threatened Verona, with Noa Lang replacing injured David Neres alongside Rasmus Hojlund.

Napoli: Milinkovic Savic; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Buongiorno; Politano, Lobotka, McTominay, Gutierrez; Elmas, Hojlund, Lang

Verona: Montipò; Unai Nunez, Bella Kotchap, Valentini; Bradaric, Niasse, Gagliadini, Bernede, Frese; Sarr, Orban
