Serie A 2025-26 weekend fixtures: Matchday 21 schedule, kick-off times, talking points and how to watch on DAZN
There's suddenly a different feel in the Serie A title race, with Inter now pulling away from the chasing pack and very much being the team to hunt down at the top of the table.
The Nerazzurri have taken advantage of points dropped by their rivals, and now they all need to play catch-up in a full programme across this weekend.
Here's the full schedule for Matchday 21 of the Serie A season, plus how to watch all the action live on DAZN.
Things to watch out for this weekend in Serie A
Who can stop Inter?
For the majority of the first half of the season, the main talking point in Serie A was how close the title race was, with at one point, five teams all in the conversation at the top of the league.
However, as we pass the halfway point, it suddenly looks like Inter could start to pull away from the rest, having garnered a six-point lead following their catch-up game on Wednesday evening.
In a narrower game than expected, Cristian Chivu's men squeezed past Lecce, and with Napoli failing to beat Parma, firmly took control of the title race.
This weekend, it's the turn of Udinese to try to put a dent in their title charge, who, despite their inconsistency this season, do already own a victory over Inter this term.
Kosta Runjaić's side pulled off a shock win at the San Siro in August, so could they repeat the trick on Saturday?
Injuries getting the better of champions
Napoli have kept up with the top two all season, but it finally feels their squad is being stretched too far, having been hit with injuries to key names this season.
The champions haven't been able to field a full-strength side pretty much since the get-go, after losing Romelu Lukaku in pre-season and have since suffered the loss of Kevin De Bruyne and Frank Anguissa to long-term absences.
Throw in additional layoffs to Billy Gilmour, Stanislav Lobotka and David Neres, and it has put Antonio Conte's squad to the test and it's no surprise that there's been a small drop-off.
The mid-week goalless draw with Parma was the first sign of the squad looking jaded, and fresh impetus feels like it's needed.
Unfortunately, that won't happen before Saturday's teatime clash with Sassuolo, where once again, Napoli will need to try and find some gas in the tank to keep up the pressure at the top.
Lecce's danger drop
Serie A's most out-of-sorts team right now is Lecce, who are hovering above the relegation places following a run of form that sees them winless in five games.
With Fiorentina's improvement, they are now just three points off Eusebio Di Francesco's side and now they face a daunting trip to the San Siro.
Whilst Milan's form has been patchy themselves, they are still unbeaten in 19 games, and it would be a major shock if Lecce stopped the rot against the Rossoneri.
