Inter return to tough Scudetto defence after treble dream dies

Inter Milan head into the final straight of their title battle with Napoli locked on points at the top of Serie A and reeling from a crushing derby defeat which ended the champions' hopes of the treble.

Last weekend's last-gasp defeat at Bologna left Inter ahead of Napoli on goal difference and Simone Inzaghi's team will have to dust themselves down from a 3-0 loss to AC Milan on Wednesday which cost them a place in the Italian Cup final.

Inter host Roma on Sunday afternoon in a match which was pushed back a day so that it and two others didn't clash with Pope Francis' funeral, which will be held at St Peter's Square in Vatican City on Saturday.
