With the midweek fixtures now out of the way, all eyes will be on some mouth-watering ties set to take place in Serie A this weekend. The two biggest games are arguably Juventus vs Napoli and the first edition of the Derby della Capitale featuring Lazio and Roma, but Sassuolo's clash with AC Milan is another to definitely keep note of on matchday seven as well.
Key fixture - Juventus vs Napoli
Last April, Napoli beat Juventus to blow the Scudetto race back open. However, the Partenopei were not able to take advantage of this lifeline, and Juventus went on to win the title race by four points. That win for Napoli marked their first win over La Vecchia Signora in Turin since October 2009, when they beat the Bianconeri 3-2, and they will be hoping to do it all over again when Carlo Ancelotti comes to take on his former side on Saturday.
It will be a very interesting reunion as it will be the first time Ancelotti faces his former player Cristiano Ronaldo in Serie A. As things stand, Juventus are still unbeaten, with a perfect six wins out of six in Serie A. That bodes well for them, as each and every single time they have won their first six games, the Bianconeri have gone on to win the Scudetto. Should they win on Saturday, they will have won their first seven Serie A matches for the first time since the 1930/1931 season.

Talking point # 1- Who will come out on top in the Derby della Capitale?
The first Derby della Capitale is set to take place on Saturday, and it could not come at a better time, perhaps. Roma are a side in flummox, to say the least. Although the Giallorossi did earn a 4-0 win over struggling side Frosinone, it really has only helped to paper over some of the cracks, as teams like Atalanta and Sampdoria also beat the Canarini and neither side have had the strongest campaign so far this term. Meanwhile, Lazio seem to have turned a corner after a difficult start to the term. After having to face both Napoli and Juventus, things have gotten easier for Simone Inzaghi's men and the Aquile have taken full advantage, winning their last four games to rapidly climb the table and will be looking to make it a fifth straight Serie A win on Saturday.

Talking point #2 - Sassuolo to again frustrate AC Milan?
Sassuolo have proven to be a bogey side for many of Italy's bigger teams since the Neroverdi acheived promotion in 2013. AC Milan fans will be well aware of the damage this plucky team can cause, as it was Domenico Berardi's poker back in January 2014 that effectively cost then-coach Massimiliano Allegri his job. In fact, at home, the Neroverdi have managed to beat the Rossoneri on four occasions, and so far they have already defeated Milan's cross-town rivals Inter at the same ground.
Milan have struggled all season, and come into this fixture having drawn with Empoli. By contrast, Sassuolo have suffered just one loss - when they were beaten 2-1 by Juventus - and as a result of their recent win over SPAL, have surged into third spot. It goes without saying they will be looking to pick off the struggling Diavolo when Gennaro Gatusso's men come to town on Sunday. Will Milan be the latest victims of a Sassuolo side who are growing in confidence with each passing game?
