Three more Serie A fixtures are due to take place on Monday evening, beginning with the double-header of Parma-Genoa and Empoli-Como in the early kick-off slot at 17.30 GMT. Here are the confirmed line-ups for the next games in the 11th round of 2024-25 league fixtures.
Parma have made just one change from the team that drew 2-2 with Juventus last week, as Emmanuele Valeri comes back into the side in place of Antonie Hainaut.
Genoa have also made just the one change, as Alessandro Zanoli comes in to replace Stefano Sabelli at wing-back.
Mario Balotelli is among the Genoa substitutes, and could potentially make his debut for his new club after joining as a free agent at the start of last week.

Parma (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; Coulibaly, Delprato, Balogh, Valeri; Keita, Bernabé; Man, Sohm, Mihaila; Bonny.
Genoa (3-5-2): Leali; Vogliacco, Vasquez, Matturro; Zanoli, Thorsby, Badelj, Frendrup, Martin; Ekhator; Pinamonti.
Both Empoli and Como have made several alterations to their respective sides. Empoli are without Saba Goglichidze after his red card in the 3-0 loss against Inter last week, as former Juventus defender Mattia De Sciglio comes in to replace him.
Cesc Fabregas has opted to start Pepe Reina in goal over Emil Audero and there is a start for Federico Barba at centre-back. Maxi Perrone and Sergi Roberto are out injured in midfield, while Nico Paz and Patrick Cutrone are rested in attack, which means a rare start up front for Andrea Belotti.
Empoli (3-4-2-1): Vasquez; Viti, Ismajli, De Sciglio; Gyasi, Haas, Henderson, Pezzella; Maleh, Solbakken; Pellegri.
Como (4-2-3-1): Reina; Goldaniga, Barba, Dossena, Moreno; Kempf, Engelhardt; Strefezza, Da Cunha, Fadera; Belotti.
