Nine different Inter players have scored Serie A goals this term - that's more than any other team. In alphabetical order, they are Adriano, Cordoba, Cruz, Ibrahimovic, Maicon, Muntari, Obinna, Stankovic and Vieira.

Stankovic set for milestone appearance

If he plays against Napoli, Dejan Stankovic will complete a fourth century of appearances for Italian clubs. The Serbian midfielder, who has played for Lazio and Inter in Italy, has played 270 times in Serie A, 41 in Coppa Italia, 81 in European cups and 7 in other tournaments. Stankovic made his 'Italian' debut in Lazio's 2-1 Super Cup victory over Juventus on 9 August 1998.

Inter three away from 200th goal against Napoli

Inter have scored 197 in games against Napoli since the Serie A championship became a one-division affair in 1929/30. Antonio Blasevich was the first Nerazzurri scorer against Napoli, scoring twice in a 2-1 home victory on 5 January 1930.

Cannavaro set to complete century of appearances for Napoli

If he plays against Napoli in Week 14, Paolo Cannavaro will complete a century of appearances for the Azzurri. The 27-year-old defender, who made his debut for the club in a 1-0 Serie B defeat at Verona on 6 June 1999, has represented Napoli 43 times in Serie A, 4 in Serie A, 9 in Coppa Italia and 6 in European competitions.

MILAN - Ivan Ramiro Cordoba and Sulley Muntari got the goals as Inter put the midweek defeat to Panathinaikos behind them with a 2-1 win over Napoli.

Ezequiel Lavezzi pulled one back for the Azzurri but Inter held on for a win that sees the defending champions move six points clear at the top of the table ahead of tonight's match between Palermo and second-place AC Milan.

Mourinho made three changes to the team that lost to Panathinaikos, bringing in Samuel, Stankovic and Cruz for Materazzi, Figo and Adriano.

Inter made a roaring start and were in front in the 16th minute when Cordoba hooked into the far corner after Maicon played his corner short to Muntari.

The Ghana midfielder made it two-nothing with his second in as many league games on 25 minutes finishing off a swift move with a classy backheeled finish from Maicon's cross-shot after the Brazilian was beautifully played in by Julio Cruz.

Argentina international Lavezzi reduced the gap eleven minutes later, bursting past Samuel on the right wing and one-twoing with Zalayeta before lifting over Julio Cesar.

Napoli fought hard for an equaliser after the interval but the best chances of a second-half goal were black and blue, with Ibrahimovic having a blistering shot blocked by Iezzo who later denied a goal-bound Zanetti.

Chilean midfielder Luis Jimenez replaced Muntari in the closing minutes to mark his return to action after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
