Top goalscorer
Looking at the goalscorer market, it would seem a good idea to side with Dries Mertens. He is one of the SSC Napoli players, who is showing decent form now. He has managed to find the back of the net 3 times in his most recent outings. Surely, he will want to add more goals against Inter.
The visitors will be looking to in-form Alexis Sanchez to find the net once again, as he has been their main man recently.
