Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s three Serie A games, as Venezia–Genoa and Lecce-Parma surround Antonio Conte’s return to Turin for Juventus vs. Napoli.
Week 5 already started with two thrillers yesterday and we begin today at 14.00 UK time (13.00 GMT) with Venezia hosting Genoa.
At 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT), Conte’s Napoli visit Juventus in a huge test for both sides, as the Partenopei are finally ready to unleash their summer signings.
Lecce welcome high-flying Parma at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).
There will be a minute’s silence before every game in memory of Italy legend Toto’ Schillaci.
Into 6 minutes of stoppages. Most down to that awful Malinovskyi injury.
Busio and Pohjanpalo off, Gytkjaer and Crnigoj off for Venezia.
His first Serie A goal, particularly precious after the earlier penalty save.
Yeboah burst down the right and cut inside, placed a wonderful ball to the back post and Pohjanpalo anticipated his marker to tap in!
It’s almost time to put it on! 👕

Venezia attack, but Yeboah runs onto the Busio ball, cuts inside and fires over when Pohjanpalo was begging for the pass.
Haps effort charged down, Vitinha got away with a very risky tackle on Zampano just outside the area.
It’s almost time to put it on! 👕

Svoboda booked for stopping a dangerous Genoa counter-attack after Andersen caught in possession.
It was a bit fortuitous, but Busio and Venezia will take that! 😎#VeneziaGenoa 1-0 pic.twitter.com/bcap9uDTVy

Oristanio off, Yeboah on for Venezia.
Got to feel for Gollini – saves a penalty and then concedes because he assumed the cross was going wide. Come to think of it, that sums up his entire career.
What a very strange goal…
Busio was meant to be floating the ball to the back post for Oristanio, who did not get there, Vasquez let it go, so did Gollini, perhaps assuming it was going wide, but it bounced off the turf and went in at the far bottom corner!
Pinamonti booked for a foul on the very busy Busio.
Sabelli off, Zanoli on for Genoa.
That was not a bad penalty by any means! It was hard, low, towards the bottom corner, but Gollini got down and fingertipped it away!
Pohjanpalo will take, once Oristanio and Vasquez have stopped arguing about encroachment.
Busio bursts into the box after a give and go with Pohjanpalo, then De Winter bundles into the back of him. Clumsy.
Applause from the crowd as the player is stretchered off, they all saw how bad that was. Slightly surprised they got him off so quickly, in all honesty.
Malinovskyi replaced by Pinamonti.
Oh no. Ruslan Malinovskyi has broken his ankle.
The foot is facing the wrong way. That’s horrific. It was a total accident, he caught his studs in the turf and it just turned under him.
No changes.

Oristanio fires wide from the edge of the area and handled in the build-up too.
Badelj cross into the box for Genoa, but Zampano keeps his cool and cushions it back to Joronen.
