(Reuters) - Inter Milan may have made a disappointing start to the Serie A season but they are one of Lazio's chief rivals in the race for a Champions League slot, according to the Roman side's coach Simone Inzaghi.

Inzaghi, who took over from Inter's new coach Stefano Pioli at Lazio in April, takes his side to Milan on Wednesday for their last league match before the Christmas break.
