THE LAST MEETING
Inter inflicted a rare defeat on Napoli when the two teams last met, with Dzeko scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory. In fact, the Milan outfit are unbeaten in the last seven clashes between the pair, including three successive 1-1 draws at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona

CAN OSIMHEN KEEP GOING IN GOLDEN BOOT RACE
It's been a sensational season for Victor Osimhen, netting 23 goals in 29 Serie A appearances. That means he's top of the charts in the race for the Golden Boot, although Inter's Lautaro Martinez isn't too far behind - he's got 20 strikes to his name

INTER ON FIRE
Inter Milan's form on the other hand lately has been sensational. They've won eight games in a row in all competitions to move into the Champions League final, while a win today would leave them all but mathematically sure of a top four place
16:30
CAN CHAMPIONS RESPOND?
Napoli have only won one of their last five games in all competitions, so despite having the title sewn up, they're not in the best of form. Luciano Spalletti would surely like a response to the 2-0 Monza defeat today, especially as he's managing against his former club
