SImone Inzaghi and Inter have a chance to respond to Antonio Conte and Napoli after their 2-1 win over Juventus on Saturday, as the Nerazzurri travel to Lecce with the aim of maintaining the pressure on the table-topping Partenopei.
Inter are currently six points behind Napoli, but have played two games fewer before Sunday’s game against Lecce.
The Nerazzurri are also in Champions League action on Wednesday, and could be inclined to rest a few players including Nicolo Barella and Federico Dimarco according to the pre-match reports.
And with Hakan Calhanoglu still out, there could be opportunities for the likes of Davide Frattesi and Piotr Zielinski instead.
