Serie A official line-ups: Sassuolo vs. Inter | OneFootball

Inter hope Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram can break impressive Sassuolo’s form, as Domenico Berardi and Andrea Pinamonti are fired up.

It kicks off at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio-Emilia at 17.00 GMT (18.00 CET).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The Nerazzurri are on sparkling form and threatening to run away at the top of the table, winning 10 of their last 11 Serie A games, drawing 2-2 with Napoli.

They rotated the squad for Wednesday’s 2-1 Coppa Italia quarter-final victory over Torino, so bring back the classic front pairing of Thuram and Lautaro Martinez.

Still missing injured Nicolò Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu and Denzel Dumfries, it means Petar Sucic and Piotr Zielinski take the midfield reins.

Sassuolo are in good shape too, coming off back-to-back wins over Cremonese and Pisa to sit comfortably mid-table.

It is perhaps no coincidence their form improved with the return of club legend Berardi from injury, and he again leads the trident attack with Armand Laurienté and former Inter youth product Pinamonti.

Fali Cande and Edoardo Pieragnolo are long-term absentees, as their season is over following ACL tears.

Tarik Muharemovic has been repeatedly linked with a possible move to the Nerazzurri, but his own goal allowed Inter to beat Sassuolo 2-1 at San Siro back in September.
