&lt;p&gt;Sunday`s programme will end at San Siro at 20:45 CET.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Nerazzurri, fresh from the home draw against Bologna that interrupted a streak of six consecutive victories, will want to get back the three points to put Napoli in their sights.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Tuscans have only got one point, a draw with Venezia, in their last five matches and need to move up the standings to stay out of the relegation zone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD TO HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inter are the opponent against whom Empoli have both lost the most games (26 of 33) and conceded the most goals (69) in Serie A – four wins for the Tuscans and three draws overall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inter have won 13 of their last 14 league matches against Empoli, scoring 29 goals in the process (2.1 per game on average) – the only win for the Tuscans in this period was back on 23 January 2023 (1-0 at the Meazza stadium with Tommaso Baldanzi’s goal).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There haven’t been any draws in 16 matches at the Meazza stadium between Inter and Empoli in Serie A (14 wins for the Lombards against the two for the Tuscans); only against Lecce (19) have the Nerazzurri played more home games without ever drawing in the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the two goals conceded against Bologna, the Nerazzurri have now conceded 12 times at home in Serie A this season (in 10 matches – 1.2 per game); already one more than in the whole of last season (11 in 19 games – 0.6 on average).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli have lost five of their last seven league games (W1 D1), as many defeats as they suffered in their previous 19 Serie A matches (W5 D9 L5).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Considering only the first half of games, Empoli would be sixth in the Serie A table (29 points), with Inter first (39). Based on second half, however, the Tuscans would be 19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; (15 points) and Inter would be in third position (34).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Among teams faced 5+ times in Serie A, Empoli are the side that Inter’s Lautaro Martínez boasts his best win percentage against in the tournament (89% - 8/9). Furthermore, after the goal against Bologna, he could score in two home games in a row for the first time since last February (against Salernitana and Atalanta in that case).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Federico Dimarco has scored more goals against Empoli than against any other side in Serie A (three). He played 12 matches for the Tuscans in the top-flight in 2016/17, providing his first assist in the competition for them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli’s Sebastiano Esposito has scored the joint-most goals in away games in Serie A this season (six, level with Mateo Retegui). In addition, on 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; December 2019, at the age of 17 years and 172 days against Genoa, Sebastiano Esposito – seven appearances for the Nerazzurri in Serie A in 2019/20 – became the second youngest scorer in Inter`s history in Serie A, behind only Mario Corso (17 years and 97 days on 30/11/1958 against Bologna).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: Inzaghi (Inter)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Dumfries (Inter); Cacace, Pezzella, Grassi (Empoli)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;FELICIANI (DI IORIO – ZINGARELLI) IV:&amp;nbsp;TREMOLADA, VAR:&amp;nbsp;GUIDA, AVAR: DI PAOLO&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES IN SERIE A&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lecce-Inter (Sunday 26 January, 18:00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Empoli-Bologna (Saturday 25 January, 20:45 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
