Leonardo unbeaten against Ranieri

This is the third time the coaches of these two teams have faced each other and Ranieri has yet to win: 1 draw and 1 win for Leonardo.

Leonardo vs Roma

Leonardo's games against Roma as a coach are the same as those when he has faced Ranieri: the two Serie A matches between Roma and AC Milan last season, with 1 win and 1 draw for the current Inter coach. The last time Leonardo faced Roma as a player was in the 1-1 draw between Roma and AC Milan on 27 May 2001, which was the last season that Roma won the Scudetto.

Ranieri v Inter: draws, a Spanish defeat and his debut

Claudio Ranieri has faced Inter 25 times as a coach at Italian clubs, with an overall negative record: 6 wins, 11 draws and 8 defeats. Ranieri also met Inter when he was coach of Valencia in the Champions League 2004/05 group stages: his Spanish side lost 1-5 at home and drew 0-0 in Milan. Claudio Ranieri's first ever game as coach also happened to be against Inter: on 9 September 1990 his Cagliari side were beaten 0-3 at the Stadio Sant'Elia.

One home defeat for Inter in their last 61 competitive fixtures

Inter have lost just one of their last 61 competitive matches played at the Stadio San Siro: the Serie A match against AC Milan on 14 November 2010 (0-1). The Nerazzurri's record in the other 60 games in that period is 46 wins (including all 7 of the last 7) and 14 draws.

Inter 2010/11 move up a gear in the second half

Inter have have won more points in the second half than any other team in Serie A 2010/11: compared to their half-time scorelines, the Nerazzurri have 10 points more.

200 games in black and blue for Maicon

Should he play today, Maicon Douglas Sisenando will celebrate his 200th appearance in all competitions for Inter, the only Italian club he has played for. His 199 appearances to date are: 140 in Serie A, 16 in Coppa Italia, 37 in European competitions and 6 in other tournaments. Maicon made his debut on 26 August 2006: Inter 4-3 Roma (after extra time) in the Italian Super Cup

Pazzini: one more for 100 club goals

Giampaolo Pazzini needs one more goal to make it 100 scored in competitive fixtures, excluding international games. He scored his first goal on 14 September 2003 in the 82nd minute of Atalanta 2-1 AlbinoLeffe (Serie B). Of his 99 - scored while playing for Atalanta, Fiorentina, Sampdoria and Inter - 67 have come in Serie A, 9 in Serie B, 18 in Coppa Italia and 5 in European competitions.

Plenty of goals on the Inter bench

Inter are have scored more times (6) through players coming off the bench than any other team in Serie A 2010/11. Those 6 goals have come from Pazzini (2), Milito, Muntari, Sneijder and Thiago Motta.

Goals from all over the pitch for Leonardo's team

Inter have scored with more different players than any other team in Serie A 2010/11. 12 different Nerazzurri players have hit the net this season: Cambiasso, Chivu, Eto’o, Kharja, Lucio, Milito, Muntari, Pandev, Pazzini, Sneijder, Stankovic and Thiago Motta.

Inter's fair play vs Roma's poor discipline

Inter are one of 3 teams in the Serie A 2010/11 season - along with Cagliari and Palermo - yet to have had a player sent off. The last player to be given their marching orders in a league tie for Inter was Muntari on 12 March. Since then they have finished 32 Serie A games with eleven players. Roma are the team with most sendings-off (6) in Serie A 2010/11. The six Giallorossi to have seen red are Nicolas Burdisso (twice, against Cagliari and Udinese), De Rossi (against ChievoVerona), Julio Sergio (against Sampdoria), Mexes (against Brescia) and Totti (against Lecce).

Middle of the second half: Inter unstoppable, Roma sloppy

In Serie A 2010/11 Inter have been the most prolific scorers in the middle of the second half (from the 61st to the 75th minute), hitting the net 13 times in that period. In the same quarter of an hour Roma - joint with Bologna and Bari - have conceded more goals (7) than any other team.

Roma, Zanetti's favourite opposition, like Inter for De Rossi and Riise

Roma are the side that Javier Zanetti has scored most goals against since arriving in Italy: 2 of his 21 in total, the same number he has scored against Cremonese. Inter are the side that Daniele De Rossi and John Arne Riise have scored most goals against during their careers in Italy: 6 out of 42 for De Rossi (Julio Cesar is the keeper he has beaten most often: 4 times), and 2 out of 11 for Riise (Julio Cesar is the keeper he has beaten most often: 2 times, the same number as Curci).

Roma have scored in their last 12 games away to Inter: a record

Roma have scored in each of their last 12 competitive fixtures played away to Inter. The last time they failed to do so was on 15 June 2005 in Inter 1-0 Roma (Coppa Italia). Never before have Roma scored in so many consecutive games on Inter's turf.

Roma on 19-game scoring streak

Roma have scored in each of their last 19 competitive fixtures, notching up 36 goals in the process. The last time they drew a blank was on 24 October: a 0-0 draw away to Parma.

Menez: 100 times in yellow and red

If he plays today, Jeremy Menez will celebrate his 100th appearance in a Roma shirt, the only Italian team he has played for to date. His 99 appearances to date have been: 72 in Serie A, 8 in Coppa Italia, 18 in European competitions and 1 in other competitions. Menez made his debut on 31 August 2008 in Roma 1-1 Napoli (Serie A).

Vucinic three away from 100 Italian goals

Mirko Vucinic is three goals away from scoring 100 in competitive fixtures with Italian clubs. The first of his 97 to date - scored while playing for Lecce and Roma - came on 1 November 2002 in the 60th minute of Cagliari 1-1- Lecce (Serie B). He has netted in the following competitions: 71 in Serie A, 5 in Serie B, 9 in Coppa Italia, 11 in European competitions and 1 in other competitions.
