It kicks off at 18:30 CET (17:30 BST) at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia.

It’s the opening match of Serie A Week 33, followed by Inter-Cagliari at 20:45 CET.

The Serie A weekend starts with two early Friday games as the Coppa Italia semis are scheduled next week, with Inter and Como meeting at San Siro in the second leg next Tuesday.

Domenico Berardi and Josh Doig are suspended for Sassuolo, who have many other players out of action due to injury: Candè, Pieragnolo, Boloca, Romagna, Garcia, Vranckx and Bakola.

Como, on the other hand, must cope without Addai, Lahdo and Sergi Roberto.

Fabregas’ men are just two points below fourth-placed Juventus, so a win would allow them to temporarily move into a Champions League place, pending the Bianconeri’s home match against Bologna on Sunday.
