Former Inter Milan coach Alberto Zaccheroni believes his former employers are capable of causing an upset against Liverpool in their Champions League Round of 16 tie.
Currently coached by Simone Inzaghi, Inter are currently four points clear at the top of Serie A as they go in search of back-to-back league titles.
Despite their strong domestic form and talented players at their disposal, Jurgen Klopp's side remain favourites to prevail against the 2010 Champions League winners.

Inter have failed to progress from the group stages in each of the previous four campaigns and last played a European knockout tie in the 2011/12 season, but Zaccheroni is confident that the Italian giants have the 'quality' to prove people wrong.
“Inter are in great form because there the chemistry between the coach and the players is there. It has freed them up mentally and they are doing very well,” the 68-year-old explained.
“I think the proof of Inzaghi’s impact has been [Ivan] Perisic. His performances are a barometer of how things are going for the Nerazzurri.
“I don’t think it’s all doom and gloom against Liverpool. On the contrary, they are two games in which anything can happen," he continued.
“Inter are solid, they are sure of themselves, they have quality, and so they can absolutely do it."
Liverpool will head to the San Siro on February 16 for the first-leg, which is sandwiched between Premier League games versus Burnley and Norwich.
The return fixture at Anfield is set to take place on March 8, meanwhile, with the Reds contesting in matches against West Ham and Brighton either side of this second-leg showdown.
