#title-race

No prizes for guessing this one. Our pick for game of the weekend could not be anywhere else as the Premiership's top two face off at Tynecastle with a five-point gap wedged between them. Chat of a title challenge from Hearts is becoming more serious by the week, while Celtic appear to be on the verge of a crisis. Defeat for Brendan Rodgers' men, who beat Sturm Graz on Thursday, would stretch open a scarcely-believable eight-point advantage for Derek McInnes' side.

We moved the ball well and created situations in the first half, but were too busy trying to be pretty, and basically we created their goal for them. There was more energy after the break, but not enough. So congratulations to Torino, but the fact is we did it all ourselves today. I had said at the start of the season that I know football well, so I assumed these were perfectly normal things to say. We are building something new here. We've got to work well, and our season will depend on how the new arrivals grow and improve. We have a game every three days, we do not have time to work in training, so we've got to improve every time and have patience before seeing those improvements.

As Calciomercato.com report, the defeats that Napoli and Roma suffered on Saturday night have given Milan a great opportunity: three points against Stefano Pioli's Fiorentina will see them return to the summit in the standings. A goal by Giovanni Simeone was fatal for Antonio Conte's side, while for Gian Piero Gasperini's Giallorossi it was Ange-Yoan Bonny's goal that gave Inter the win, and also took them above their city rivals, hopefully temporarily.

Let's start at the top, as this penultimate weekend was big for the title race. Through 36 matches, only a single point separated Napoli and Internazionale.
