It is set to be a very interesting reunion for two of Roma's personalities when the Giallorossi travel to face Inter on Sunday. There is, of course, the fact that current Roma boss Jose Mourinho famously once managed the Nerazzurri, and led the Italian side to Champions League glory in 2010. In addition, Romelu Lukaku will be facing his former teammates for the first time since completing a switch to Roma, and given the contentious nature of his exit, the Belgian international is sure to receive a less than friendly welcome from the Nerazzurri faithful.
Inter come into this match currently sitting on top of the table, but will need to make sure that they pick up all three points in what should be an interesting encounter if they hope to finish this matchday still in top spot. At the moment, the Nerazzurri have cross-town rivals AC Milan in hot pursuit, but will be playing their match against Roma earlier than Milan's tricky test against Napoli.
Depending on the outcome, Inter could find themselves four points ahead of Milan even before the Diavolo take on reigning Scudetto champions Napoli - but it is safe to assume that Stefano Inzaghi's team will not be too focused on permutations heading into this game. Meanwhile, Roma have seemingly started to recover after a rough early start to this season. Although the Giallorossi sit in eighth, they come into this match having won three on the trot, but will need to overcome a very frustrating record against Inter that has seen them win just one of their last 12 meetings against the Nerazzurri.
