Inter Milan will be looking to return to winning ways on Saturday night when they face Hellas Verona.
Antonio Conte's side suffered a 3-2 defeat at Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday night, but an impressive Serie A campaign to date has left them in second spot in the table, just one point off the summit.
Leaders Juventus are not in action until Sunday night against Inter's bitter rivals AC Milan, meaning that a win for the Black and Blues against Verona would see them move to the top of the table.
Here, Sports Mole looks at how the 18-time Italian champions could line up this weekend.
Out: Alexis Sanchez (ankle), Danilo D'Ambrosio (toe)
Doubtful: Kwadwo Asamoah (knee), Roberto Gagliardini (muscular)
Inter will again be without the services of on-loan Manchester United attacker Alexis Sanchez due to a long-term ankle injury, while defender Danilo D'Ambrosio remains on the sidelines with a broken toe.
Kwadwo Asamoah is also a doubt with the knee injury that forced him to miss out against Bologna and indeed Dortmund, meaning that Cristiano Biraghi is again in line to feature at wing-back.
Stefano Sensi made his comeback from a thigh problem off the bench during the week and could now return to the starting XI, with Matias Vecino the player potentially dropping out despite his goal.
The back three and goalkeeper will remain unchanged, while Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku are expected to continue as the front two with both players in fine form this season.
Indeed, Lukaku has nine goals in 11 Serie A outings since arriving at the club, while Martinez has managed five in 11 league appearances for Conte's side during the 2019-20 campaign.
