NAPOLI vs. JUVENTUS Watch Live Stream FREE Online: 2014 Serie A, Live Coverage From Napoli, Projected Lineups and TACTICAL PREVIEW

Two clubs in the top four of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between Napoli and Juventus. The first-division clash scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Stadio San Paolo in Napoli and can be live streamed here free.

Though Juventus sit mightily atop the table with 87 points, the club has suffered a rash of injuries it must overcome. Manager Antonio Conte urged his men following a victory over Parma last week to push through the pain barrier as they approach a sixth consecutive game (h/t to Sky Sports). "It was an important victory against a team who came into the game on the back of a 17-match unbeaten streak. Parma reiterated how strong they are tonight, you don't string together that kind of run by chance," said Conte.

"I'm running out of words of praise for these lads, eight out of 11 are on their fifth consecutive game. Some need to take a breather, but they can't. This is the worst injury situation I've had since I've been here," he added.

"We'll try and get as many players back in order to wrap up what has been an extraordinary league season up until now and to try to make progress in the Europa League."

"It's the second year running that we're the only Italian representative in the hunt for a European trophy."

"We want to continue our journey, but first we'll think about Sunday against Napoli."
