Seeking the crown of 'winter champions', Inter Milan host Hellas Verona as they conclude the first half of their Serie A campaign on Saturday.
One point at San Siro would see Inter top the table after 19 games, but the Nerazzurri will want to show no mercy against relegation-threatened visitors.
Across all competitions - including the Coppa Italia, which they lifted in May - the Nerazzurri won 39 times, which was their best return for 18 years, so there is a lot for them to live up to this year.
In their final fixture of 2023, Simone Inzaghi's side visited Genoa, seeking to extend their lead at the top of Serie A; however, a 1-1 draw at Marassi saw their four-point advantage over nearest challengers Juventus cut to two.
With a vastly superior goal difference, Inter would still claim the unofficial title of 'Campioni d'Inverno' (winter champions) by picking up even one point this weekend, when Italy's top flight reaches its halfway stage.
