Matchday 9 is a full midweek round, ten games spread from Tuesday evening to Thursday night, and it arrives three days after a weekend that tightened the top of the table even further.

Inter and Lazio are level on 22 points, with Inter ahead on goal difference. Roma and Milan are four points back on 18, and Como are on 17. None of the top four has lost a league game. By Thursday night, all of them will have played again, and by Sunday the Milan derby will have been played too.

Here is what is at stake, game by game, and why the next 72 hours matter more than they might seem.

Tuesday: Lazio go first
