Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from the Champions League, as Napoli visit PSV Eindhoven and Inter take on Union Saint-Gilloise.
Both games kick off at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT) in Week 3 of the tournament’s League format.
The Nerazzurri are hoping to keep a 100 per cent record after wins over Ajax and Slavia Praha, having rediscovered their Serie A form too.
Antonio Conte’s side lost to Manchester City and beat Sporting CP 2-1, but suffered two defeats in their last three Serie A matches.
Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries opened the scoring for the Nerazzurri and has praised his team and head coach Cristian Chivu in the aftermath of the match.
Napoli suffered a humiliating 6–2 defeat to PSV in the Champions League, and captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo did not hide his frustration or concern when speaking to Sky after the final whistle in Eindhoven.
Antonio Conte reiterates his warning that ‘this will be a tough season’ for Napoli after so many changes, but insists he ‘won’t change tactics’ after a 6-2 defeat to PSV Eindhoven.
Cristian Chivu reveals Inter ‘needed to be understood, reassured, and also shaken up’ from last season, as their fine form continued crushing Union Saint-Gilloise 4-0.

“It is a very important victory for us. It was a tough start, but we made changes after 15-20 minutes and played very well as a team,” Dumfries told Sky Sport Italia.
“I think at the start of the season we played well, but the defeats to Udinese and Juventus were unlucky. After that, we realised we were on the right path, and have to continue like this.
“Chivu is a coach who talks a lot to the players, he is a strong coach, and he gave us confidence.”

Napoli have well and truly abandoned this ship.
Gave it away cheaply, but then scorching Driouech finish under the bar from distance with VMS well off his line.
Douech springs the offside trap getting down the left, roll across for the Pepi tap-in, who is behind the line of the ball.
Brace for McTominay too, who rises above the crowd to nod in the David Neres corner!
Right, Dennis Man that is ridiculous 🤯@tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/okuDxcCJ9I

De Bruyne off, Elmas on for Napoli.
Driouech, Dest and Pepi on for PSV, Salah-Eddine, Perisic and Til off.
Dangerous Union SG cross-shot flashes across the face of goal, but nobody ready to meet it.
Sommer then right behind a good finish from Florucz.
That is a cracking strike from the former Parma man, Man.
Screamer from the edge of the area that leaves Milinkovic-Savic rooted to the spot as it flies past him. Was unsighted by teammates.
Bad to worse for Napoli.
Lucca went down in a tangle with a defender, turned to the referee and pointed to his head while shouting.
The referee is convinced Lucca just called him nuts and he did not appreciate that. Lucca says it wasn’t aimed at him, or at least didn’t mean that, but not gonna fly.
Luis Henrique replaces Dumfries for Inter.
Politano off, David Neres on for Napoli.
Very similar to the chance he missed early, but this time Pio Esposito manages to slide in and steer the Bonny pull-back into the net from six yards!
Niang off for Union SG, Patris on.
Inter threaten to go 4-0 up in Belgium, as Frattesi sees his effort charged down inside the penalty area by the goalkeeper, who stuck out a forearm! Not a glove, an arm.
Noa Lang breaks down the left for Napoli, but fires onto the side-netting.
Mauro Junior shot charged down by Buongiorno from inside the area, Napoli are lucky it’s only 3-1.
