Serie A Sunday : Juventus v Genoa live streaming plus Udinese v Roma, Chievo v Fiorentina online tv schedule
Roma are considered 13/10 favourites to defeat a resilient Udinese side as Napoli also face a tough home test against Torino.
Roma have so far been the talk of the town in Serie A this season but the runaway league leaders will need to be careful as they travel east to take on a tough Udinese side.
The Giallorossi are the only side in the top European leagues to have a 100% record so far winning their first 8 games of the season.
Rudi Garcia’s side face their first real tough tests as both captain Francesco Totti and Gervinho have been ruled out for the next 3 weeks after they sustained injuries in the 2-0 win over Napoli last weekend.
It means that Garcia will turn to former Man United winger Adem Ljajic and club veteran Marco Borriello to try and break the deadlock for Roma.
Udinese will once again try to break into the top half of the table as they slowly gather momentum after a steady start to their campaign in Serie A.
The main change for the Zebrette will see Serbian goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic return to the starting line-up after Croatian keeper Ivan Kelava deputised over the last couple of matches.
Defender Maurizio Domizzi has returned to training after missing the last few weeks with injury but is still doubtful for the tie as Udinese look set to stick with three at the back.
With Roma facing a tough trip north, it could provide Napoli with the chance to claw back the deficit they lost to the leaders last week with a win against Torino at the Stadio San Paolo.
Napoli could reduce the lead to the top to just two points with a win and the Partonopei will hope that Jose Callejon and Dries Mertens can continue the same form that destroyed Marseille in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Napoli will be without both Juan Camilo Zuniga and Miguel Britos for the tie meaning that Pablo Armero and Federico Fernandez will get the nod as their respective replacements.
Torino has looked good this season working their way up to tenth in the tables sitting nine points off the Champions League spots.
The Granata are without any new injury concerns and the side will be buoyed by the fact that they have only lost once to Napoli in their last eight league meetings.
Both Roma and Napoli face tough games on Sunday and a good result will show that both sides have the resilience and character to be genuine title contenders for the year ahead.
