Maurizio Sarri has limited options in defence, as Danilo, Mattia De Sciglio and Giorgio Chiellini are out injured, along with Douglas Costa, Marko Pjaca and Mattia Perin.

Juan Cuadrado has settled surprisingly well into the role of right-back, with Matthijs de Ligt growing in confidence alongside Leonardo Bonucci.

Adrien Rabiot, Emre Can and Rodrigo Bentancur aren’t making much headway in challenging old guard Sami Khedira and Blaise Matuidi in midfield.

The only doubt is upfront, where Higuain remains the favourite ahead of Paulo Dybala to partner Cristiano Ronaldo, while Ramsey returns as a the trequartista after he was rested for the 3-0 Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen.

Antonio Conte has to do without suspended Alexis Sanchez, while it’s a wait to the last minute for the availability of Romelu Lukaku, who missed the 2-1 defeat to Barcelona with a muscular problem.

It’s widely believed the Belgian will start with Lautaro Martinez, as the only alternative is Matteo Politano.

The other doubt for Inter is on the right wing, where Danilo D’Ambrosio represents a more defensive option than Antonio Candreva.

Diego Godin will renew his decade-long battle with Cristiano Ronaldo, while Kwadwo Asamoah faces his former club.

Inter (probable): Handanovic; Godin, De Vrij, Skriniar; D’Ambrosio, Barella, Brozovic, Sensi, Asamoah; R Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez

Juventus (probable): Szczesny; Cuadrado, Bonucci, De Ligt, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi; Ramsey; Higuain, Cristiano Ronaldo
