Starting with the hosts, extending on their Coppa Italia adventure earlier in the week as they cruised their way to a routine 3-1 victory at home against Empoli, Genoa will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. However, spending large spells of last season looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Patrick Vieira's men have once again failed to find any kind of fluidity since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. Last seen falling to a 2-1 defeat away at Bologna, the former Crystal Palace boss has not seen his squad muster a single win from their first four Serie A appearances (two defeats, two draws).

Starting with the hosts, while Cremonese might have only made their iconic Serie A return this season, the top-flight newcomers have enjoyed a remarkable start to proceedings. Rightfully receiving a string of plaudits from across Italy's elite this year, Davide Nicola's men find the mood in their camp at a famous high. In fact, the Lombardy-based outfit open this weekend's fixtures sat in bronze medal position and they will be confident of laying down another early marker here.

Still, it seems Chiesa's future will be one to watch again in January as transfer expert Dean Jones discussed the situation with TEAMtalk. Jones says it's likely that Chiesa will have opportunities, but it's not guaranteed he'll be rushing to leave as his next move would likely be seen as something of a step down. Despite his lack of guaranteed minutes, it seems that Chiesa is not exactly desperate to leave Liverpool, so his next move would have to be the right kind of project to tempt him.

An uneventful first half was followed by a breathless second as Simeone broke the deadlock with a venomous curling effort against the run of play at Stadio Olimpico. Gasperini's side, who had dominated possession, were left chasing the game from there on in as Matias Soule saw a speculative attempt flash past Torino's post. In Roma's attempts to draw level, they left themselves increasingly vulnerable defensively, allowing the visitors to test Mile Svilar in goal with the Serbian shot-stopper making a series of brilliant saves.

Physical fights between teammates are nothing new in football. Newcastle's Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer were famously sent off for trading blows on the pitch in 2005, before issuing grovelling apologies after the game. John Hartson kicked his West Ham teammate Eyal Berkovic in the face during a training-ground bust-up in 1998, with the midfielder claiming: If my head had been a ball, it would have been in the top corner of the net. Robinho once took a pop at Thomas Gravesen during a Real Madrid training session in 2006. The Dane responded, and was sold that summer to Celtic.
