Inter Milan will be hoping to continue their pursuit of the Champions League places when they host Parma on Sunday.

Walter Mazzarri's side, who are unbeaten in their last six outings, sit four points adrift of third-placed Napoli following last week's 1-1 draw with Sampdoria.

Parma were also held to a 1-1 draw by Bologna last week.

Both sides come into the match off the back of Coppa Italia successes in midweek, with Inter edging past Trapani Calcio, while the visitors beat Varese 4-1.

Mazzarri is expected to make several changes to the side that beat Calcio, with Samir Handanovic, Javier Zanetti and Rodrigo Palacio in line to start.

Parma coach Roberto Donadoni could revert to the team that started against Bologna, which would see Antonio Cassano and Jonathan Biabiany return.
