Inter Milan preview: Won four of last six
Inter Milna had the home advantage in midweek against Bologna but slipped behind in the 15th minute.
However, full-back Denzel Dumfries equalised soon after and Lautaro Martinez fired Inter in front in first-half stoppage time. Bologna scored the only goal of the second 45 and it proved enough to secure a 2-2 draw much to the disappointment of the home fans.
Yann Bisseck, Hakan Calhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Joaquin Correa, Raffaele Di Gennaro, Zinho Vanheusden, Valentin Carboni and Martin Satriano make up the list of injury concerns for Inter Milan this weekend.
Predicted lineup: Sommer (GK), Darmian, de Vrij, Dimarco, Dumfries, Bastoni, Zielinski, Barella, Asllani, Thuram & Martínez

Empoli preview: Lost three of last five
Despite having the home advantage against fellow mid-table side Lecce, Empoli ended up well beaten in Serie A last weekend.
Lecce raced into a two-goal lead inside the opening 11 minutes and although Libertato Cacace pulled a goal back for Empoli in the second half, Lecce scored a third to make sure of their victory in stoppage time.
Sunday's guests could be without the likes of Tyronne Ebuehi, Tino Anjorin, Ardian Ismajli, Federico Brancolini and Nicolas Haas for the trip to the San Siro due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Seghetti (GK), Pezzella, Ismajli, Cacace, Viti, Goglichidze, Grassi, Maleh, Gyasi, Colombo & Esposito

Player to watch: Lautaro Martinez
Lautaro Martinez hasn't scored the sheer amount of goals the Inter Milan fans have come to expect of him so far this season but the Argentine's form has improved of late.
Martinez has scored seven times in his 18 Serie A games so far this season and the striker has found the back of the net three times in his last five appearances for the Italian giants across all competitions.
Inter's Argentine striker has three goals in his last five appearances
We're backing Martinez to add to his tally when Inter Milan play host to Empoli on Sunday in what should turn out to be a routine victory for the home side.
