Serie A Week 26 - 18/2/06 (17.00 UK)
Stadio Picchi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inter will look to put a miserable fortnight behind them with three points at the Stadio Armando Picchi, but will come up against a resurgent Livorno side full of confidence after a derby victory over Fiorentina.
After Roberto Donadoni's controversial exit, new Livorno boss Carlo Mazzone had the ideal start to his tenure at the Armando Picchi with a 2-0 triumph over Tuscan rivals Fiorentina to end a run of draws. Mazzone - the most experienced Coach in Italian football in his 37th season with his 12th club - knows that he must secure a UEFA Cup place but the 68-year-old tactician may face some dissent in the ranks as rumours suggest that many players were angered at club President Aldo Spinelli's role in Donadoni's departure.
Roberto Mancini's Inter have endured a horrendous spell. After a reverse at the hands of Fiorentina, defeat against Inter in a bitter Derby d'Italia as good as ended the Nerazzurri's slim title aspirations. The Biscioni are now 12 points behind Juventus in Serie A and must now turn their attentions to finishing above Milan.
Mazzone - known as Sor Carletto - has the luxury of an injury-free squad as his side attempt to avenge Week 7's 5-0 trouncing. Mancini, who is suspended and will watch from the stands, must manage without Juan Sebastian Veron who limped off against Juventus, Giuseppe Favalli and Aparecido Cesar who still awaits his Inter debut. Obafemi Martins has returned from Egypt and is once more available to play.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Livorno: Amelia; Grandoni, Vargas, Galante, Balleri; Morrone, Passoni, De Ascentis, Coco, Colucci; Lucarelli
Inter: Julio Cesar; J. Zanetti, Cordoba, Materazzi, Burdisso; Figo, Pizarro, Stankovic, Kily Gonzalez; Martins, Adriano
