Massimiliano Allegri's Juve can put pressure on Inter with a win at Lecce in a title race the coach inelegantly described as "cops and robbers". "The robbers runaway and the cops give chase.

That was a remark which did not go down well with Inter fans, whose team are trying to retain the Italian Super Cup and who consider Juve their biggest rivals.
