Ciro Immobile is expected to start for Lazio against Charles De Ketelaere’s Atalanta while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giovanni Simeone return from suspension for Napoli against Hellas Verona.

It’s not only the day of Inter-Juventus in Serie A as Atalanta, Napoli and Lazio play key games in the race for the top four.

Napoli host Hellas Verona at the Stadio Maradona at 14:00 GMT, while Lazio visit Atalanta at 17:00.

Kvaratskhelia and Simeone were suspended in the previous round at Lazio so they return to the starting XI for the Partenopei. Alex Meret, Mathias Olivera, Victor Osimhen and Piotr Zielinski are not available for the Partenopei and Matteo Politano will join Kvara and Simeone in the attacking trident.

Atalanta must cope without their midfield star Teun Koopmieners against Lazio, but Isak Hien, Michael Adopo, José Luis Palomino and Ademola Lookman are also not available. Danilo Cataldi is suspended for Lazio, Patric and Mattia Zaccagni are injured.
