Fixtures confirmed as Premier League nears return

Juventus take on Napoli in tonight’s Coppa Italia final as Maurizio Sarri aims to secure his first piece of silverware at the club.

An errant display from Cristiano Ronaldo made for a dull second leg in their semi-final against AC Milan, however, a 0-0 draw secured Juventus’s safe passage to the final.

The club are looking to resume their season with a galvanising spark after an indifferent season left them just one point clear of Lazio in Serie A and trailing Lyon in their Champions League last-16 tie.

Napoli are also hoping for a change in fortune after a tumultuous season that saw the departure of Carlo Ancelotti has left them struggling to secure a spot in the top four.
