Here are five reasons you can’t miss the resumption of Serie A action this weekend.

A top four tussle in Turin

Juventus and Lazio are level in the table, in third and fourth position respectively, ahead of their mouthwatering meeting on Saturday night.

The home side have an incredible home record in the league in this fixture, having lost just once in the last 2o years, although Lazio have won two of the last three, including the most recent meeting between the teams in March.

If they can repeat the feat, they’ll register consecutive Serie A wins against the Old Lady for the first time since 2001 but Juventus have shown encouraging signs under Thiago Motta, particularly defensively.

But one man they must keep close tabs on is Arsenal loanee Nuno Tavares, who could become the first Serie A defender to register an assist in four straight games since such data recording began in 2004 and only his old team-mate Bukayo Saka has more assists (seven) than his five in Europe’s top five leagues this season.

All roads lead to Rome

Ivan Jurić’s attempted Roma revival will meet with its sternest test yet when he welcomes champions Inter to the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday night.

After two wins and a credible draw against Athletic Club in Europe from his three home games to kickstart his tenure, a defeat to Elfsborg and draw with Monza have left the ex-Torino tactician under no illusions as to the task at the Giallorossi.

By contrast, Simone Inzaghi’s men coming in riding a three-game winning streak after their derby defeat and are also seeking a fourth successive Serie A win away to Roma, who haven’t had answer in this fixture recently under Daniele De Rossi or José Mourinho.

In addition, an interesting piece of history could be made if Inter score twice. That would see them become the first side to score 300 goals against a single opponent in the history of the Italian top flight – and with Marcus Thuram in the form he’s in, you wouldn’t bet against it!

Pulisic’s purple patch

For the first time in a career that stretches across the Bundesliga, Premier League and Serie A, Milan attacker Christian Pulisic has netted in four successive games.

Against Udinese, the in-form USA international will aim to make it five-in-a-row and put himself among some illustrious club company in the process.

If Pulisic does find the net, he’ll join Zlatan Ibrahimović (twice), Andriy Shevchenko (twice), Pippo Inzaghi, George Weah and Olivier Giroud as the only men to achieve the feat in the three-points-for-a-win era.

He is set to be fresh and firing for the weekend showdown too, with Mauricio Pochettino and the USMNT allowing him to skip Wednesday morning’s friendly and return to Italy ahead of schedule in a bid to ensure he isn’t overworked.

More McTominay magic

Already a cult hero to the Napoli faithful, Scott McTominay returns from Scotland duty aiming to pick up where he left off prior to departing when they face Empoli on Sunday afternoon.

The summer signing from Manchester United has been directly involved in a goal in each of his last three games for the Partenopei (scoring twice and assisting once in that span).

If he scores or assists in this one, it will be the first time in his career he has done so at club level in four consecutive games.

But it isn’t just his ability in the final third that has caught the attention – he’s putting in the hard work too. The 11,911km average per game he has covered is more than any other player in Serie A this season.

Atalanta’s newest star

Some eyebrows were raised in the summer when Europa League winners Atalanta reacted to Gianluca Scamacca’s ACL injury by forking out a reported €28m on Mateo Retegui from Genoa.

The Argentina-born Italy international was coming off the back of a season in which he had netted seven times in Serie A.

It has taken him just seven games of the current campaign to equal that amount, seeing him become just the fifth Italian to score seven times in his first seven games in the modern era of three points per victory.

He has followed in the footsteps of Roberto Baggio (Bologna), Mario Balotelli (Milan), Emiliano Bonazzoli (Sampdoria) and Dario Hübner (Piacenza). Luca Toni is next in his sights, having managed nine in his first eight Fiorentina games.

A hat-trick in Venice on Sunday for a free-scoring La Dea side (they top Serie A for goals scored) would see him carve out his own piece of history.
