We look at five reasons the action cannot be missed.

Camarda's big chance

With Milan's goalscoring woes continuing with a scoreless stalemate against Genoa last week, coach Paulo Fonseca is reportedly considering a bold gamble to shake things up.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that 16-year-old striker Francesco Camarda will be drafted in to solve their problems, with neither Tammy Abraham nor Álvaro Morata (off the bench) impressing for a Rossoneri side who have drawn a blank in three of their last four home Serie A fixtures.

Although he has come close, Camarda is still searching for his first goal, but his performances have been encouraging and he has provided a spark to the side with his youthful exuberance.

Camarda has already won the trust and confidence of his coach and is in line to do so again. Will he be rewarded in Verona with his long-awaited, and history-making, first goal?

Inter aim for one-sided record

On Monday night Inter take on Como and are expected to cruise to success, based on both current form and history.

The defending champions sit just three points off the top ahead of the weekend (albeit with a game in hand), while the newly-promoted outfit are perched precariously above the relegation zone.

Victory for Inter would see them set a new club record for the most consecutive home wins against a single opponent.

Since losing the first meeting at San Siro between the clubs in 1950, they have reeled off 12 straight wins (their last coming with a 4-0 win in March 2003), which is a joint record with Fiorentina (2001-2013 and Pro Patria 1930-1955) and are now looking to avoid an unlucky 13.

Juve must build on cup showings

While Juventus have impressed in cup competitions this month (defeating Manchester City in the Champions League and thrashing Cagliari in the Coppa Italia), it has been at odds with their Serie A form.

They are yet to win in December and have just two victories from their last eight games, leading some to question coach Thiago Motta after a strong start.

That inquest will continue with great intensity if they cannot overcome a Monza outfit who earned the fewest home points this season (three) and spent the fewest amount of time in the lead in home games this year - just seven minutes.

It is time for knockout Juve to make their presence felt in the league.

Vieira seeks landmark result

Since taking over at Genoa from Alberto Gilardino, Patrick Vieira has enjoyed an impressive start.

The Frenchman's side have kept clean sheets in three of his four games and are yet to taste defeat, as he aims to become just the fourth coach in club history to go unbeaten in his opening five matches after taking over in mid-season, but things won't be easy against Napoli.

The Partenopei have their own top quality coach, with Antonio Conte setting the impressive distinction this season of being the only man in league history to win at least 35 points in his first 17 games in charge with three different clubs.

A strong defence of their own has also helped in that regard as since the beginning of September, they've conceded just two goals in away fixtures.

Roma must give Ranieri response

Claudio Ranieri made his feelings quite clear about Roma's performance in their loss away to Como last weekend with some scathing comments.

"It is not possible that a team like Roma comes second on the first and second balls, it is not possible that on some free-kicks and corners, Roma are less focused and attentive than their opponent," he said.

"I can't fault the attitude but it is the attention to detail and focus. We didn't play or run as a team and made a terrible impression."

A comfortable Coppa Italia win over Sampdoria has helped but they need to start putting results together regularly and that needs to begin against Parma to prevent a disastrous season careering further out of control.
