Two clubs in the top half of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between Napoli and AC Milan. The first-division clash is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on beIN Sports.
The Stage
Unable to return the club to relevance, the future of Pipo Inzaghi is in danger.
New investment in the form of Bee Taechaubol doesn't help Inzaghi's case, either. In a press conference, the AC Milan boss made it clear that his preference is to stay at Milan.
"I spoke to the president and stand by what he said, " Inzaghi said (via Football Italia). "In other words, there is nothing official yet. I am accustomed to Berlusconi's presidency and won everything with him. Any decision the President makes will be to get Milan great again."
"The club has not told me anything," he added. "I hope to carry on here for another year-and-a-half. We do feel that we have to prove ourselves, and I will prepare every game as if it was the Champions League Final."
The In-Form Player
Jose Callejon remains a key part of Napoli's attack. In 33 league appearances, the 28-year-old has 11 goals and two assists.
Projected Lineups
Napoli (4-2-3-1): Andujar; Ghoulam, Britos, Albiol, Maggio; Lopez, Inler; Insigne, Hamsik, Callejon; Higuain
AC Milan (4-3-3): Lopez; Antonelli, Bocchetti, Rami, Sciglio; Bonaventura, Jong, Ginkel; Honda, Pazzini, Cerci
