Inter clearly expected to defend the title this season, but faced certain problems at the start, losing several important points. At the same time, Simone Inzaghi’s team gathered on time and already in the first round was able to catch up with Napoli and Milan, which at the start went into a serious gap and at the finish of the first half of the season, the Nerazzurri completely took the first line in the table. Inter still holds the lead, but it does not have a serious advantage over its competitors. From the second “Napoli” and the third “Milan” “Nerazzurri” came off by one point, but at the same time they played a match less than the main competitors.
Manchester United had a successful Champions League group stage where the team finished in first place ahead of opponents such as Villarreal, Atalanta and Young Boys. The start of the team in the League Cup was unsuccessful, where the Mancunians were eliminated after the first stage. The second stage in the FA Cup also ended in failure, where last Friday the Red Devils lost to Middlesbrough on penalties in the penalty shootout (1:2). In the championship the situation is ambiguous. Manchester United started well, but a series of disastrous matches led to the post of head coach a new specialist. Under the leadership of Ralf Rangnick, the situation has changed for the better and today the Red Devils are in fourth position. After 22 rounds the guests have 11 wins and five peaceful outcomes, which correspond to 38 points, which is nine less than the third Chelsea. In the last round United defeated West Ham (1:0) at home. Bayi, Greenwood, Lingard and Lindelof will not be able to play today.
