Marcus Thuram is available again after injury. Cristian Chivu must decide whether to start him or use youngster Ange-Yoan Bonny up front.

Matteo Darmian is a major doubt, whilst Henrikh Mkhitaryan needs a late fitness test. Centre back Tomas Palacios has been out for six weeks and remains a question mark.

Inter Milan Motivation

Inter are playing with confidence and quality. They play to dominate matches and this will be no different.

Motivation is high to end a five-match winless run in the Derby. A draw would keep them above AC Milan but would open the door for Roma and Napoli in the title race.

AC Milan Form

Milan are unbeaten since the opening day with six wins and four draws in ten Serie A matches. A fine 2-1 win over Napoli came with ten men before missing a penalty in a 0-0 draw at Juventus. They beat Fiorentina 2-1 at home, but they’ve continued to drop points of late.

Milan needed an injury-time goal to rescue a 2-2 home draw vs Pisa. They surrendered a lead to draw 1-1 at Atalanta as they were outshot 17-6. A fine 1-0 home win over Roma saw Milan put up 3.32 xG. Before the international break, they let a 2-0 lead slip in a 2-2 draw at Parma to miss the chance to go top of the table.  

AC Milan Team News

Coach Max Allegri has a doubt over midfielder Adrien Rabiot due to a calf strain. Christian Pulisic is fit after an injury and could push to start in the front two in preference to Christopher Nkunku.

Striker Santiago Gimenez is a doubt with an ankle problem. The likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Fikayo Tomori could be left on the bench in the coach’s 3-5-2 system.

A draw is not a bad result, and they will have confidence of extending their unbeaten streak against their city rivals.
