Francesco Acerbi and Federico Dimarco return to Inter‘s starting XI, while Kenan Yildiz is favourite over Federico Chiesa for Juventus in tonight’s Derby d’Italia.
It kicks off at 19:45 GMT at the Stadio Meazza in Milan. It’s probably the most important game of the season in Serie A.
Ex-Juventus winger Juan Cuadrado is not available for the Nerazzurri and coach Simone Inzaghi appears to prefer Matteo Darmian to Denzel Dumfries for a starting spot on the right flank.
Acerbi and Dimarco initially went on the bench against Fiorentina last week and will return to the starting XI tonight.
Juventus are without the suspended Arek Milik plus the injured Moise Kean and Mattia De Sciglio. New signings Tiago Djalo and Carlos Alcaraz will start on the bench.
Chiesa missed the last two games with a slight muscle problem and is expected to be introduced as a substitute in the second half, making room for Turkish talent Yildiz in the Old Lady’s starting XI.
Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro Martinez, Thuram.
