Inter Milan have been quietly going about their business in Serie A this season, and have snuck to within three points of the summit.
The Nerazzurri have avoided defeat across their last five in the domestic league, and have claimed victories in each of their last three.
Como are the visitors to the San Siro on Monday, and huge credit must be given to Cesc Fabregas for the job that he is doing with the Italian minnows.
They come into this round sitting a point outside of the relegation places, and confidence will be high after a vitally important 2-0 win over Roma last Sunday.
