Inter Milan head into the next round of fixtures with a comfortable 9 point lead over local rivals AC Milan, who still have a game in hand, but will be looking to pile on the pressure as they travel to struggling Parma this weekend.
The home side have been in horrible form grabbing just a solitary point in their last 5 outings, with 4 losses to good sides including Roma and Juventus. Losses to those teams will definitely give Inter confidence that they can do the job as well in this outing.
After 2 successive victories against Juventus and AC Milan, Mourinho's men are looking on putting a good run of form to extend that lead early, so that they can give a bit more focus in 3 weeks time for the opening legs of the UEFA Champions League quarter final, which is Mourinho's primary aim this season especially taking on his old club.
The only major absences for Mourinho are Chivu, Snejider and Lucio, which he has been able to manage without for many times during the season. But he welcomes back Etoo and other African players, as he should go for all 3 points in this fixture.
