Fiorentina - Inter (Channel4)
Inter have been in superb form but face one of their toughest tests of the season when they visit the Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Viola will be determined to put pressure on the top three with a win here and in the process could more-or-less hand the Scudetto to Juventus.
After Milan dropped points against Sampdoria last weekend, the Gigliati gained ground with a nervy 1-0 win over bottom-side Lecce. Luca Toni is maintaining a devastating goal scoring pace with his Capocannoniere tally of 20 and will undoubtedly be giving Inter's defence some sleepless nights.
However, Inter are 14 games unbeaten in Serie A and will approach this clash with confidence. The Nerazzurri are now the only side apart from Juventus with any genuine title aspirations, but know that any slip-up would now render the Scudetto a pipe-dream. Mancini's men edged past Chievo 1-0 last weekend but will need to show a lot more if they are to prevail here.
Cesare Prandelli has no new injury worries. The visitors have the usual absentees – Jose Ze Maria, Marco Andreolli, Alvaro Recoba, Giuseppe Favalli and Cristiano Zanetti are all still out of action. New signing Cesar is also not match fit and Obafemi Martins remains on international duty with Nigeria at the African Nations Cup.
Fiorentina: Lobont; Ujfalusi, Dainelli, Kroldrup, Pasqual; Fiore, Pazienza, Donadel, Jorgensen; Pazzini, Toni
Inter: Julio Cesar, J. Zanetti, Cordoba, Samuel, Burdisso, Figo: Veron, Cambiasso, Stankovic; Cruz, Adriano

Moggi defiant: Refs do not favour Juventus
tribalfootball.com - February 6, 2006
Juventus director general Luciano Moggi has rubbished claims his team are favoured by match officials after yesterday's controversial winner scored by Alessandro del Piero against Udinese.
"Udinese will be angry, but no-one does us any favours," said Moggi. "We are satisfied with the deserved victory. The goal scored by Del Piero seemed to me to be in the correct position.
"People can challenge us, but I don't know how you can accuse someone like our captain. I defy anyone to find one incident where we have won thanks to favours from referees.
"We have not had any favors, others instead have had four, five or even six this season."

Juventus - Parma (Channel4)
Fabio Capello will look to his champions elect to silence talk of their fortunate win over Udinese with an emphatic win over struggling Parma at the Stadio Delle Alpi.
The Old Lady are still eight points clear at the top of Serie A and appear uncatchable but after Week 20's draw with Chievo and the trouble they had dispatching Udinese last weekend, they still have something to prove.
Mario Beretta's problems are far more acute. The Crociati were outclassed in their 3-0 defeat against Roma last weekend undoing some of the good done by two vital wins over Empoli and Chievo.
It is crucial that the Gialloblu start to pick up points to distance themselves from the automatic relegation zone but there could not be a worse club to meet. Parma have conceded 29 goals on their travels, the worst in Serie A, and will hold out little hope of taking a positive result here.
While Capello is only lacking Robert Kovac and Jonathan Zebina, Beretta must deal with a huge catalogue of absentees. Ferdinand Coly, Ibrahima Camara, Damiano Ferronetti, Filippo Savi, Marco Delvecchio, Andrea Pisanu and Giovanni Pasquale are all injured and captain Giuseppe Cardone and Fabio Simplicio are suspended. Patrick Vieira returns from suspension for the home boys.
Juventus: Buffon; Zebina, Thuram, Cannavaro, Zambrotta; Camoranesi, Emerson, Vieira, Nedved; Trezeguet, Del Piero
Parma: Guardalben; Bonera, Couto, Cannavaro, Contini; Grella, Bolano, Bresciano, Marchionni, Morfeo; Corradi
