Inter Milan are out to reclaim top spot in Serie A when they host a high-flying Como side on Sunday evening.
The defending champions relinquished the Serie A lead after losing 3-1 to eternal city rivals AC Milan last weekend.
They come into the game in second place with 25 points, three behind league leaders Lazio.
Fourth-place Como have 23 points from their opening 10 games and have shown their ability to challenge the top teams in the country.
Cesc Fabregas’ side come into the game on the back of making history with the biggest away win in the Champions League.
Como demolished Lens 9-1 in midweek and come into this highlight fixture seeking a fifth consecutive Serie A victory.
Their away form has also been particularly impressive. Como have won four of their six away league matches, with one draw and one defeat.
Even more impressive is their defensive record. Como have conceded just eight goals in ten league games, joint-best in Serie A alongside Lazio.
Can Como continue their impressive run and hand Inter a second straight league defeat? Here is our predicted outcome for the match.

Inter vs Como team news
The biggest confirmed absentee is captain Lautaro Martínez, who remains unavailable with an injury and is not expected back until after the international break.
Francesco Pio Esposito and Marcus Thuram are expected to lead the attack in Lautaro’s absence.
Luis Henrique is also sidelined through injury, with Manuel Akanji starting in the heart of defense and Denzel Dumfries preferred to Djed Spence on the flank.
Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu and Federico Dimarco are all fit and will retain their starting roles in midfield.
Moise Kean, Assane Diao, Jesús Rodríguez and Jayden Addai are among the players missing or doubtful, while defender Trevoh Chalobah is also unavailable.
However, Como seem to be doing just fine with their available options and are expected to retain the same starting XI that featured in their 1-0 win against Venezia.
Nico Paz has been in fine form and will continue his exploits in the attacking midfield role, with Tasos Douvikas leading the attacking line.

Inter vs Como prediction
Inter’s home record is the biggest argument in favour of the champions. They have won all five home league matches this season and have scored 17 goals.
Como’s excellent away record makes this far from a straightforward home win.
Both sides have enough attacking quality to both find the net and judging from the seven-goal thriller earlier this year, we can expect the same here.
