Inter Milan will take on Lazio in Serie A on Sunday, 18 May, in a huge match for both clubs.
The hosts come into the match one point behind Napoli in the title race but with just two matches left to play, they are running out of time to leapfrog Antonio Conte's side.
Lazio, meanwhile, are also one place further down than they would like as they hunt a place in the top four. Only goal difference separates them and Juventus as things stand.

Inter Milan preview: Inzaghi to go strong
Simone Inzaghi picked a heavily rotated team last weekend against Torino due to his side's efforts in the Championship a few days earlier. He should pick his strongest possible starting XI this time around, which will mean recalls for the likes of Nicola Barella and Denzel Dumfries. However, doubts linger over the fitness of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Davide Frattesi and Lautaro Martinez.
Predicted Lineup: Sommer (GK), Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni, Dumfries, Asllani, Zielinski, Calhanoglu, Dimarco, Thuram, Taremi

Lazio preview: Suspensions to hit Lazio hard
If Lazio are to get anything from this match, then they will have to do it without Luca Pellegrini and Mattia Zaccagni, as the duo are ruled out due to suspension. Defender, Patric, will miss out due to an injury.
Predicted Lineup: Mandas (GK), Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Gigot, Rovella, Guendouzi, Isaksen, Dele-Bashiru, Pedro, Castellanos

Player to watch: Taty Castellanos
Taty Castellanos has had a far better second season at Lazio compared to his debut campaign last season, and with two games of the season to go, he is on ten league goals. The 26-year-old will need to score four goals across these next two games to beat his previous best of 13 league goals in European football, a feat he achieved with Girona in 2022/23.
