Inter Milan and Juventus in battle for top spot, Walter Mazzarri begins second Napoli reign
Hindustan TimesInter Milan and Juventus face off on Sunday in a clash between Serie A's two title favourites and historic rivals, as Walter Mazzarri begins his second reign at troubled Napoli. With Milan and champions Napoli both faltering Juve are Inter's closest challengers and have the benefit, thanks to last season's accounting controversies, of having no European football clogging up their calendar. And with Juve's top scorers -- Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa -- both stuck on four goals since September their opposition appear to lack the firepower with which to damage an Inter team that Roma boss Jose Mourinho said "should win the league by 20 points". Inter's CEO Giuseppe Marotta meanwhile has tried to shift the focus onto Juve given their continental commitments, trying to dampen expectations after their last two title challenges fell flat.
