Beautiful day!

Albert Gudmundsson is out with flu symptoms.

“It’s a 4-4-2 in our own way, suited to the players we have on the field and their characteristics. We know these are two teams who started in August with the ambition of securing safety and both are looking for important, potentially decisive points. We filled the away section with our fans, despite logistical problems and frankly expense to get here, so it’s wonderful to underline their commitment.”

{live, 11:09, Claudio Ranieri (Cagliari)}

“Genoa deserved their victory, we tipped our hats to them. Lecce are on the verge of safety, I think 36-37 points will be enough for safety, but we need to battle and win. Yerry Mina and Dossena are not at 100 per cent, but we need them and they will have a good game. I expect the usual determined, solid, gritty Lecce and we will try to do our best.”

Serie A Super Sunday

Join us for all the build-up and action from today’s five Serie A games, Cagliari-Lecce, Empoli-Frosinone, Verona-Fiorentina, Milan-Genoa and a massive RomaJuventus.

Sassuolo’s 1-0 win over Inter really shook up the fight to stay in the top flight.

We begin at 11.30 UK time (10.30 GMT) with a relegation dogfight, as Cagliari and Lecce hope to break away from the drop zone.

At 14.00 UK time (13.00 GMT), Empoli-Frosinone is another crucial tussle, while Verona host Fiorentina.

Milan take on already safe Genoa at San Siro amid fan protests at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).

Finally, a win at the Olimpico at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT) would guarantee Champions League football for Juventus, but Roma can close up on Bologna and the Bianconeri instead.
