MILAN, FEB 13: Inter Milan have top spot in Serie A in their sights as the Italian champions head to Turin on Sunday to take on fierce rivals Juventus just one point behind league leaders Napoli.
Monday night's win over Fiorentina put Inter right on Napoli's heels as an intriguing Scudetto battle hots up with the pair facing off in Naples in two weeks' time.
But this weekend's fixtures could also have a big say in the destination of the Scudetto as Napoli have a tough trip to fourth-placed Lazio to deal with on Saturday.
Napoli have let Inter creep up on them with consecutives draws with Roma and Udinese, both of which came after going ahead, and Antonio Conte's team will be without Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's replacement David Neres who has picked up a thigh injury and will likely be out until early March.
But no team would more like to derail Inter's title defence than Juve, bigger rivals than even AC Milan and in something of a mini-revival after three wins in three in all competitions.
That rest should help Inter as Marcus Thuram looks to be fit enough to start at the Allianz Stadium after being substituted early on against Fiorentina with an unspecified muscular issue. —AFP
