Inter Milan take on Torino in Serie A this evening.
It will be the Nerazzurri's third-last league match of the season.
Taking three points will almost certainly be essential for Inter if they are to have any hope of keeping the pressure on Napoli at the top of the table.
The Partenopei play immediately after Inter. They face Genoa later this evening.
And if Inter are to win in Turin, then they will catch up to the league leaders, at least temporarily.
Therefore, Inzaghi has made it clear to the squad that he wants them to keep their focus and treat this as an important match.
However, at the same time there is no getting around the importance of the Champions League.

Inter just played in an exhausting semifinal second leg against Barcelona. Furthermore, they have the final of the competition against Paris Saint-Germain later this month to think about.

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi is therefore to make some notable changes to the starting eleven.
In goal, Yann Sommer had an absolutely outstanding tie against Barcelona.
The 36-year-old proved his worth with a series of saves that kept Inter on course for the Champions League final.
Therefore, it is clear that Nerazzurri coach Inzaghi will want Sommer available and fresh in the final against PSG.
Accordingly, reports the Gazzetta, Sommer will get a rest this evening.

Leeds United tracking Dovbyk, Roma look to Krstovic
Artem Dovbyk's future continues to be the subject of transfer speculation. The Ukrainian striker has seemed out of place in the Giallorossi's lineup, a fish out of water in the new starting eleven designed by the new coach of the Roman club. In recent matches against Lens, Aston Villa, and Everton, the former Girona player has exposed all the shortcomings that had left the new manager in doubt until then. In the Premier League, newly promoted Leeds are considering him, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. And if Dovbyk were to leave the capital, sporting director Frederic Massara would immediately turn to Nikola Krstović of Lecce, who has loudly requested a transfer. The Montenegrin striker is valued at around €25 million, and if Roma receive a suitable offer for Dovbyk, the deal could be completed within hours.

Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson favours a move to Newcastle United
Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson favours a move to Newcastle United should he leave the Stamford Bridge club this summer, according to the Telegraph. Newcastle have been in the market all summer for a number 9 to play alongside Alexander Isak at the St James' Park club, and they will hope they can finally land one before the transfer deadline. The Magpies target has been training on his own after telling Chelsea he wants to leave and they have agreed to sell the 24-year-old. Newcastle are not the only club interested in Jackson, but he favours a move there, with Champions League football likely a factor. He was left left out of the squad for Friday's friendly at Stamford Bridge against Bayer Leverkusen and was also not on the bench against AC Milan yesterday. The Toons lost the race for Slovenia international striker Benjamin Sesko to Manchester United, and his Chelsea counterpart has emerged as an option. They were ready to do a €85 million deal for the former RB Leipzig star and may need to pay something close to sign Jackson. Chelsea want at least €76m for him – double what they paid to sign him from Villarreal in 2023, and he also has eight years left on his current contract after signing a long-term deal last September. Newcastle could do with his strength and pace in attack and they will hope to beat other suitors to his services after missing out on most of their key transfer targets so far this summer. The Senegalese has found himself behind Liam Delap and Joao Pedro in the pecking order at Chelsea after the striking duo were signed this summer, and he needs to leave if he wants regular playing opportunities. The Toons could provide him with that chance as manager Eddie Howe is open to playing two strikers going forward, and talks could take place between both clubs in the coming weeks.

Pizarro confident in Gasperini's abilities: 'Roma will be amazing with him.'
Former Roma midfielder David Pizarro spoke to Corriere dello Sport about Gian Piero Gasperini's new reign in the Italian capital. 'I have a piece of advice to Roma: get back in touch with your people, with the fans. I say this with nostalgia, but for all clubs: before there were real relationships, today we isolate ourselves a little.' 'Gasperini is demanding and it seems to me that he has also made it clear publicly where the squad needs to be improved.' 'Roma needs a major trophy. We play to win, not to finish fourth. My generation came close. Before I die, I hope to celebrate at least one Scudetto at the Circus Maximus. I believe deeply in the Friedkins' investments.' 'I know Gasperini will do a great job. Roma will be amazing with him in charge.'
