Having ascended to Serie A's summit after nine rounds, Inter Milan now aim to regain top spot by beating Roma on Sunday evening.
After Juventus climbed above them on Saturday, Inter will host the current club of former boss Jose Mourinho at San Siro, where the visitors' star striker is assured of a 'warm' welcome.
Last season's beaten finalists put Red Bull Salzburg to the sword on Tuesday evening, when Alexis Sanchez and Hakan Calhanoglu were on the scoresheet, just days after the latter also scored in Turin to help take Inter top of the Serie A standings.
With an impressive record of 24 goals scored and just five conceded, Simone Inzaghi's side have won seven of their first nine league matches and sit just above city rivals Milan, who slipped up against Juventus last week.
However, the Nerazzurri have failed to win either of their last two home fixtures in Serie A - losing to Sassuolo and drawing with Bologna - so before hitting the road for a Lombardy derby with Atalanta and the reverse fixture against Salzburg they will be keen to restore order at San Siro.
As some familiar figures from the club's glorious past return to the grand old venue, Inter fans would love nothing better than seeing off Roma's challenge there this weekend.
