All eyes are on Lazio following recent controversial decisions and their letter of protest , so the pressure is on Massa when he is put in charge of their game against reigning Champions of Italy Napoli on Sunday.

Another big match is between Atalanta and Roma, with Gian Piero Gasperini returning to visit his old club, and Fabbri is wielding the whistle in that tie.
