The Nerazzurri’s 2-0 defeat at Lazio mathematically ruled them out of the running for a Champions League spot, so all they can fight for now is consolidating fourth and Europa League qualification.

A big crowd is expected for this final home game of the season, including President Erick Thohir, and they want to see some entertainment.

Jeison Murillo is suspended, but Adem Ljajic returns from injury for a spot on the bench, as it’s increasingly likely he’ll return to Roma this summer.

In an unusual move, Roberto Mancini seems to have stuck with the same tactic for two games running, as Brozovic, Jovetic and Perisic fan out behind centre-forward Icardi.

Juan Jesus steps into central defence for the banned Murillo.

Empoli have Levan Mchedlidze suspended after an appeal against his three-match ban was rejected.

Lukasz Skorupski, Marko Livaja, Vincent Laurini and Alessandro Piu are sidelined, so Maccarone, Saponara and Manuel Pucciarelli lead the attack.

Leandro Paredes is back from his ban to pull the midfield strings with Liverpool target Piotr Zielinski.

Empoli have not beaten Inter since a 1-0 home result in April 2006, managing one 0-0 draw and eight defeats in all competition.

This Serie A fixture at San Siro has never ended in a stalemate with nine home victories and one for Empoli, 1-0 in January 2004.
