Como top, PSG fall: Inter-Napoli tonight

Back to the football. In Serie A, Friday's opener produced a 1-4 Genoa-Como that puts Fabregas' side top for a night, praised even by rival De Rossi (ANSA, Sky Sport). In the Premier League, Liverpool won 0-2 at Ipswich thanks to two Alexander Isak goals, a first win for Iraola and a debut for Barcola (Corriere dello Sport). In the Bundesliga, Stuttgart routed Köln 4-1; in Ligue 1 the big result was Monaco's, 2-1 winners at the Parc des Princes against PSG, while Lyon beat Auxerre 3-1.

On the morning news front, Napoli named their squad for the big match: McTominay and Giovane out, Badiashile in (NapoliCalcioNews.it). At Roma there is optimism over Paulo Dybala, whose tests came back positive: the Argentine is heading for a starting spot (Corriere dello Sport). Looking to Sunday, Bologna will be without Riccardo Orsolini for around three weeks (Calciomercato.com). On the registrations front, free agent Vincent Sierro is now official at Parma (parmacalcio1913.com).

And then there is today's schedule. In Serie A it starts with Fiorentina-Torino at 15:00 (Italian time), then the headline Inter-Napoli at 18:00 at San Siro, with a reunion of ex-Manchester City men like De Bruyne, Stones and Akanji; Roma-Atalanta closes the day at 20:45. In the Premier it's Matchday 3 on Saturday: Newcastle-Bournemouth at 13:30, at 16:00 a quartet of Manchester City-Coventry, Nottingham-Tottenham, Brighton-Leeds and Brentford-Sunderland (plus Fulham-Crystal Palace), then Hull-Aston Villa at 18:30.

Abroad, the Bundesliga offers five games at 15:30 — including Hoffenheim-Dortmund and Leverkusen-Union Berlin — before Schalke-Bayern at 18:30. In Ligue 1 there's Lens-Lorient at 17:15, then Le Havre-Brest and Nice-Le Mans at 20:45.

A look at the tables: in Serie A, Como lead alone on 7 points, chased by a cluster on 6 (Roma, Inter, Milan and Juventus) with a game in hand; top scorer is Roma's Donyell Malen on 5. In the Premier, Manchester City and Arsenal are perfect on 6 points, in Ligue 1 Monaco stand alone on 9. In LaLiga, Barcelona and Real Madrid are level on 9, with the Blaugrana ahead on goal difference (+10). The Bundesliga, meanwhile, has only just begun.
