Serie A is set to break for another international hiatus, but before then, calcio fans are in for a real treat as Inter and Juventus lock horns.

Key talking points ahead of matchday seven
Will Inter overcome their Juventus hoodoo?
Inter may be on a six game winning streak, but they have a frustrating hoodoo when it comes to playing Juventus. The Nerazzurri have won just three of their last 20 meetings with Juventus, and this upcoming game could prove to be decisive in who clinches the Scudetto. It's not called the Derby d'Italia just by chance, and the two teams are separated just two points.
Milan desperate to avoid sliding further down the table
Milan are currently on a three game losing streak and are just one point away from the drop zone. They will next take on fellow strugglers Genoa in a must-win game for Marco Giampaolo's side, but the Grifone also will be desperate for all three points as they are right now in dire straits after winning just one match all season.
