Pippo Inzaghi has to do without Riccardo Montolivo, Stephan El Shaarawy, Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari and Michael Agazzi.

Diego Lopez sprained a finger in training on Friday, but is expected to start in goal.

The big changes look to be the introduction of ex-Liverpool winger Suso, getting his first Serie A start after impressing in a few substitute appearances.

That’s because Keisuke Honda is still not 100 per cent fit, so Suso completes the attack with Menez and Giacomo Bonaventura.

Alessio Cerci, who had been on the verge of joining Inter before he opted for Milan in January, is expected to be on the bench.

There are also adjustments at the back, where Alex will reportedly step in for Gabriel Paletta.

Inter have Fredy Guarin and Marcelo Brozovic suspended for the Derby della Madonnina, while Zdravko Kuzmanovic, Jonathan, Dodo and Hugo Campagnaro are injured.

Roberto Mancini dropped Shaqiri last week after a disappointing performance and said the ex-Bayern Munich talent needed “time” to settle into Serie A.

He is expected to start in a 4-2-3-1 system tonight with Hernanes and Rodrigo Palacio fanning out behind Mauro Icardi.

Kovacic could also get the nod in a deeper midfield role with enforcer Gary Medel.

Probable line-ups

Inter: Handanovic; D'Ambrosio, Ranocchia, Vidic, Juan Jesus; Kovacic, Medel;  Shaqiri, Hernanes, Palacio; Icardi
Milan: Diego Lopez; Abate, Alex, Mexes, Antonelli; Poli, De Jong, Van Ginkel; Suso, Menez, Bonaventura
