Wondering which Inter will turn up

– All eyes will be on Rome tomorrow as Inter Milan face Lazio in a crucial moment for a thrilling Serie A title race.

The biggest question surrounding Antonio Conte’s (right) Inter side ahead of the match is what team will turn up, after a week that has highlighted the unpredictable nature of the league leaders.

Last Sunday, Inter were overrun and outclassed by AC Milan in the first half of the Milan Derby, and went in at the break deservedly trailing their rivals 2-0.

But a sensational second-half display turned the game on its head, as Conte’s team overwhelmed the Rossoneri by scoring four goals to win a thrilling encounter 4-2.

The game showed the Nerazzurri at their abject worst and brilliant best in the space of 90 minutes, but the high of coming out on top soon evaporated when they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Napoli in Wednesday’s Coppa Italia semifinal first-leg at San Siro.

Inter were criticised for looking tired and lacking imagination, with Conte facing calls to pick January signing Christian Eriksen

from the start rather than using him as a second-half substitute, as he has in three of the former Tottenham midfielder’s four appearances so far.

Nevertheless, the Milan Derby win was enough to send Inter to the top of the table on 54 points, ahead of Juventus on goal difference.

Yet Lazio lurk just one point behind in third, in the tightest Serie A title race in 18 years.

Conte used his side’s uninspiring display against Napoli as an opportunity to remind the public that Juventus, who have won the last eight league titles in a row, remain the team to beat.

“If someone thinks that we will suddenly be at the same level of the team that has dominated for years, I would say that we are still some distance away,” he said. “We need to suffer defeats in order to improve and develop.” –
