Lazio’s controversial president Claudio Lolito claimed that Jose Mourinho's side holds no fears for him. "I've never feared anyone. Lazio can match anyone. I hope that against Inter we'll be able to show the same competitive spirit and to affirm on the pitch our abilities and determination," he said. Juventus center-back Giorgio Chiellini has set teammates a target of three wins in a row before the break if they are to hang onto Inter's coattails, starting with the trip to Lecce on Sunday. Juve has won six of their last seven Serie A matches but crucially lost to Inter at the San Siro in that spell. "There's three more matches and we have to do everything to take home nine points," he said. Milan seems to have the simplest task of the big three this weekend as it hosts Sicilian Catania. Milan's biggest problem is that its form has not been good of late. It lost to Lazio in the cup just a few days after being beaten 3-1 at Palermo. Midfielder Clarence Seedorf says they must keep their chins up. "Fortunately we are optimistic, we have to remain calm and work hard," he said.
