Empoli will host Inter Milan at the Carlo Castellani on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Italian Serie A campaign.
The home side have endured a poor start to their season and are still searching for their first points on the board. They were thrashed 7-0 by a clinical Roma outfit in their last game, marking their eighth consecutive defeat to the Giallorossi.
Empoli sit rock-bottom in the Serie A standings with zero points and will be desperate to end their barren run of form when they play on Sunday.
Inter Milan, meanwhile, have enjoyed a strong start to their campaign, kicking on from where they left things off last season. They thrashed rivals AC Milan 5-1 in the Milan derby last weekend, with four different players getting on the scoresheet including summer arrival David Fratessi who netted his maiden goal for the club.
The visitors sit atop the league table with 12 points from an obtainable 12 and will be looking to add to that tally as they continue their title charge.

Inter are undefeated in their five games this season and have now won 11 of their last 12 league matches. The visitors are overwhelming favorites ahead of the weekend clash and should win this one fairly easily.
