Juventus, Sarr ahead of Koop. The likely lineup

Juventus host Atalanta at the Stadium and for Spalletti, who will stick with a back three, the main doubt is in midfield, with Sarr favored over Koopmeiners to partner the now-undroppable Douglas Luiz. Alajbegovic is heading for the bench. Below is the likely lineup.

JUVENTUS (3-4-2-1): Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumì; McKennie, Sarr, Douglas Luiz, Celik; Conceiçao, Gonzalez; Kolo Muani.

Milan, Amorim set to start Estupinan again

Milan will wrap up this Serie A round with Ruben Amorim having several selection doubts. Saelemaekers could start, with Rabiot in midfield alongside Modric. Estupinan is favored over Moreira according to Daniele Longo.

MILAN (3-4-2-1): Maignan; Gila, De Winter, Pavlovic; Chukwueze, Modric, Rabiot, Estupinan; Pulisic, Saelemaekers; Ramos.

Inter, Lautaro Martinez’s words

After his brace against Roma, Lautaro Martinez spoke to DAZN. Here is what he had to say.

"I took care of my body. The Club World Cup was a very hard blow for me, even though I’m a professional. I showed up in a way that wasn’t right, and this year I paid a lot of attention to my physical condition. I trained a lot even after having played in a World Cup. I prepared well for this season, and I’m happy. I will always give everything for Inter, because that is always the most important thing."

Napoli, will Favasuli play?

Napoli are preparing for the clash with Fiorentina and Allegri has several doubts. At the back, Olivera is set to replace Spinazzola, while Favasuli is pushing Politano, who still remains the favorite. Vergara is heading for the bench.

NAPOLI (4-3-3): Milinkovic-Savic; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Rafa Marin, Olivera; Gilmour, Lobotka, De Bruyne; Politano, Hojlund, Lang.

Roma, Soulé’s disappointment

Matias Soulé spoke after the 2-2 draw with Inter. Here are his words to DAZN.

"They are the strongest not only this year, but over all the past years as well, and there is disappointment on our part because, as I said before, we were ahead but we drew with Inter, who are the strongest, so it has to give us an extra boost for this league campaign, which is still very long."

Lazio, Zaccagni speaks

Mattia Zaccagni spoke to Sky after his goal and the win in Venice. It was a goal he had been waiting ten months for.

"The goal? I needed it, I could feel it coming. I’m happy about this win, and credit must go to Venezia, they put us under pressure. We stayed together, we stayed compact. A very good result. The table? It’s too early to talk, now there’s this break, we’ll rest a little and then come back stronger than before. What has surprised me about this start? The positivity we have inside, the happiness we have in training and in working hard, even though there is a difficult situation to deal with."

Fiorentina, Pellegrino favored over Beto

For Paolo Vanoli, it is a return to the Franchi in the league in the clash with Napoli. Pellegrino is favored over Beto, while in defense Viery should play at full-back.

FIORENTINA (4-3-3): De Gea; Jimenez, Dragusin, Ranieri, Viery; Ndour, Fagioli, Atta; Mastantuono, Pellegrino, Njie.
