Roma v Napoli live - Pellegrini breaks deadlock for hosts after Politano is sent off

Osimhen has gone down and stayed down. The home fans boo their dissaproval, as it looked fairly innocuous. The striker is back on his feet again and it's a drop ball.

The Olimmpico roars as a free-kick is given against Kristiansen as he tried to win the ball high up the pitch. The noise levels haven't dwindled one bit.

The action is underway at the Olimpico and it is LOUD.

League leaders Inter continued their impressive form by beating Lecce 2-0 earlier to maintain their four-point lead on top of the table. Read the full report here:

There has been plenty of action elsewhere in Serie A today, with Juventus kicking off the day by beating Frosinone 2-1 thanks to this sensational strike from 18-year-old Kenan YIldiz on his full debut.

Both sides have a bit of a point to prove tonight, with Roma picking up one point from their last two games vs Fiorentina and Bologna and Napoli coming off a humiliating 4-0 drubbing at home to Frosinone in the Coppa Italia in midweek.

But both also desperately need points in the top four race, with Napoli sitting four points behind Bologna and Roma six points adrift.

It's not just football we've got on TNT Sports tonight, far from it. The Day of Reckoning is underway over in Saudi Arabia, with Anthony Joshua soon taking to the ring to face Otto Wallin before Deontay Wilder's clash with Joseph Parker.

Follow along here and find out all the details about how you can watch.

It's another packed house here this evening, something that has become commonplace under Mourinho.

But wiith the Portuguese boss in the final year of his Roma contract and no renewal yet on the table, we've looked at what he needs to do to earn an extension - starting with better performances in big games like tonight.

Mazzarri can call on all his big guns tonight. Napoli are at full strength, with Osimhen leading the line and hoping to spark some magic alongside Kvaratskhelia.

Let's start with the teams, then. For Roma, the big news is the return of Lukaku from suspension after he was sent off here in their last home game against Fiorentina for an ugly challenge.

Belotti partners Lukaku in attack, with star man Dybala currently out injured.

And I mean it about the Christmas cracker thing...please shout at me if I slip!

As far as round-ending games go, this is a pretty good one. It’s Roma v Napoli, the Derby del Sole in the middle of winter, and we are here at the Stadio Olimpico to take you through every kick.

Buckle up for a big night in Serie A…
