Inter and Napoli are separated by a mere whisker at the top of the Serie A table after the two sides drew 1-1 last weekend. The pair both have 17 wins after 27 matches, but the Nerazzurri are ahead in the standings by just one point.

Here are five reasons to tune into the action.

Juventus could gain vital ground with Atalanta win

Fourth placed Juventus host Atalanta in third on Sunday, and there's a lot at stake for both sides at the Allianz Stadium.

Despite having already exited the Champions League, Thiago Motta's men have put a good run together in domestic action, winning each of their last five games, with the last time they reached six in a row in the league back in January 2023.

That said, the Bianconeri have been prone to drawing matches this season, with a staggering 13 stalemates from 27 games in 2024/25, more than any other side in the league.

Atalanta have also been putting in some solid defensive performances of late, and have kept a clean sheet in four consecutive Serie A games for the first time since 2000.

Khéphren Thuram in top form for Juventus with two goals in his last two games, and has already set his personal best for most goal involvements while playing in Europe's top five leagues with a total of three goals and four assists.

Should Juve win this one, they will draw level with La Dea on points in third position.

Who will come out on top in Turin?

Which Fiorentina will turn up against Napoli?

Fiorentina have had an eventful season so far, as midfielder Edoardo Bove suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch, manager Raffaele Palladino's mother passed away on the morning of the game against Bologna, and Moise Kean was hospitalised after a serious head injury.

Whether as a direct result or not, the team's results have been all over the place, with wins over Inter, Lazio, Milan, Roma, and a draw with Juventus, as well as defeats to Como, Verona and Udinese.

And after losing 3-0 to Napoli in Florence earlier this season, it seems like it might be a good time to face the Partenopei this time around.

With draws against Roma, Udinese, Lazio and Inter, in addition to a shock 2-1 defeat to minnows Como, a side managed by Antonio Conte has gone five consecutive matches without a win in Europe's top five leagues for the first time ever.

Could La Viola make it six?

Could controversial Milan duo be dropped again?

It was back in August when former Milan boss Paulo Fonseca dropped Théo Hernandez and Rafael Leão following a public spat with the pair.

"I spoke to them and they understood," the Portuguese boss declared. "I need to make choices for the good of the team. We must be a team, if we want to win."

And despite the fact that Fonseca has now been replaced by Sérgio Conceição, the controversy has rumbled on.

Sent off against Feyenoord in the Champions League, Hernandez has been on the receiving end of Milan fans' fury, and it's been widely reported that Conceição could drop the pair for this weekend's meeting with Lecce.

The Rossoneri have lost three consecutive league games since that painful exit from Europe, leaving the boss with no option but to try something different.

Can Conceição turn it around?

Will Dybala be 'untamed' against Empoli?

With six goals and three assists to his name in the league this season, it hasn't been one of Paulo Dybala's most prolific campaigns in the Italian top flight.

But that didn't stop boss Claudio Ranieri playing up his strengths in a press conference earlier this week.

“Everyone has to run and fight, and he has to have fun," the veteran tactician declared. "Champions like him should not be tamed, but they should be supported and given a lot of balls in. He has wonderful vision.”

And following their Europa League Round of 16 clash at home to Athletic Club on Thursday, the Giallorossi travel to Empoli on Sunday in domestic action, with Dybala's record standing at five goals in 13 meetings with their Tuscan opponents.

Will he be 'untamed' this weekend?

Record breaking Lautaro sets his sights on Monza

While Napoli have a tough challenge against Fiorentina on their hands, Inter face an opposition that – on paper at least – should be an easier proposition.

Simone Inzaghi's side have the best attack in the league with 60 goals scored, while only Hellas Verona and Parma have conceded more times than Monza (45).

To compound matters, Argentine star Lautaro Martínez is fresh from becoming the club's all-time top scorer in the Champions League in midweek, and has scored five goals in his last give appearances against Monza.

Will the 27-year-old add to this season's tally?
