Serie A leaders Inter will host the struggling Udinese up next at the San Siro Stadium on Saturday. Inter have a two-point lead over Juventus at the top of the standings after 14 rounds.
Udinese managed to beat AC Milan in the first week of November but couldn't kickstart a good run of wins after that. They are winless in their last four matches and the 15th-placed team will be desperate to avoid the drop zone.
Taking on Inter will be a challenge for Udinese as the leaders are unbeaten for over two months. Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
