Serie A Sunday sees Scudetto holders Napoli travel to Bologna and Torino host a determined Roma.

The match between Bologna and Napoli kicks off at 17.00 UK time, with Torino hosting the final game of the weekend against Roma later at 19.45.

Bologna’s only absence is defender Adama Soumaoro, who is out with a knee ligament injury. The 31-year-old is expected to be out until January.

Napoli cannot count on Pierluigi Gollini, Amir Rrahmani and Juan Jesus, all of whom are out injured. Whilst the other two are set to return soon, Rrahmani will be out for another three to four weeks.
