Inter × Napoli · Serie A

Inter host Napoli at San Siro in Serie A, kicking off on Saturday 5 September at 17:00 BST. Italy's top flight rarely needs to sell a fixture like this one: Milan against Naples, two of the largest followings in the country, in a stadium that has long been part of the furniture of European football. For viewers in Britain it arrives in the late afternoon.

What is at stake is what Italy's top division always puts up for grabs: a national championship and the European places the competition hands out when the season closes. One fixture settles none of that on its own, yet meetings between clubs of this size tend to be the ones remembered later, because a single afternoon moves two big clubs at once instead of one.
