We begin at 11.30 GMT with Juventus trying to close the gap on Milan, Inter and Roma as they host Sinisa Mihajlovic’s unpredictable Bologna.
With reports linking Mattia Zaccagni with a summer move to Napoli, the midfielder found the net against his possible future club for Hellas Verona.
The 25-year-old has five goals and seven assists in 19 Serie A games so far this season.
The Italian netted Verona’s third goal in their 3-1 win over Napoli today.
Ironically, Zaccagni is reported to be in talks to move under the Vesuvius next season.
Even though Hirving Lozano made history for Napoli, they still saw Hellas Verona turn the game on its head for a 3-1 victory with Federico Dimarco, Antonin Barak and Mattia Zaccagni.
Mexico international Chucky Lozano made the most of the Diego Demme pass to find the net within nine seconds, a new club record, and the third fastest Serie A goal in history.
Gennaro Gattuso was frustrated by Napoli falling apart against Verona and transforming in the second half. ‘You can’t just go to the supermarket and ask for €10 of determination.’
The Partenopei had the perfect start with Chucky Lozano scoring within nine seconds, the quickest in the club’s Serie A history and third of all time, but Federico Dimarco, Antonin Barak and Mattia Zaccagni turned it around for a 3-1 Verona victory.
Hellas Verona coach Ivan Juric says his side played their best game of the season against Napoli and praises Mattia Zaccagni: ‘He’s becoming a leader.’
Hellas stunned Napoli with a 3-1 home draw on Sunday.
“I think it was the best game of the season, it’s never easy to play against Napoli, the guys played very well, it was an extraordinary match,” Juric told Sky Sport Italia.
Chucky Lozano gave Napoli an historic start at the Bentegodi, but Hellas Verona turned it around to win 3-1 and stay in the hunt for European places.

And
Hirving Lozano’s goal against Hellas Verona after roughly nine seconds is the fastest in the history of Napoli.
Federico Dimarco completely missed the ball allowing the Mexican winger to score after just 8.9 seconds in the first half.
The former PSV’s goal is fastest one in the history of the Azzurri.
The previous record belonged to Giovanni Venditto who scored the winner in a Napoli-Fiorentina in January 1942 after barely 20 seconds.
Lorenzo Insigne, Andrea Petagna and Chucky Lozano start for Napoli, with Dries Mertens and Victor Osimhen on the bench, as they visit impressive Verona.

Sunday begins with an Allianz Stadium clash between Juve and Bologna in Serie A. The Old Lady’s coach Andrea Pirlo is expected to once again start Arthur in the middle of the park with Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata up front.
Victor Osimhen is back in full training with Napoli after recovering from both COVID-19 and a dislocated shoulder.
The striker has been out of action since dislocating his shoulder in November while on international duty for Nigeria.
He then contracted COVID while on vacation in his homeland during the Christmas break.
Osimhen was given the all-clear from the Coronavirus yesterday and today underwent tests on his shoulder with a specialist visit.
The results of all these were clear, so Osimhen returned to training with the full squad today.
