The Nerazzurri have the opportunity to consolidate third place and even threaten Napoli in second, but above all this evening’s clash will be about pride and long-standing rivalry.

Marcelo Brozovic should be fit enough to start after his muscular issues, sending Borja Valero back to the bench, with Matteo Politano, Radja Nainggolan and Ivan Perisic supporting Lautaro Martinez.

For the second big match in a row, Luciano Spalletti seems ready to dump Icardi in favour of the younger model, confirming the tense rapport that has never been healed since the captaincy row.

Juventus have a lengthy injury list, missing Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic, Sami Khedira, Douglas Costa, Martin Caceres and Mattia Perin.

It means Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to lead the trident attack with Juan Cuadrado and Federico Bernardeschi, so on form Moise Kean is only reserved as a substitute.

The big news is the return of Giorgio Chiellini from a calf injury, with Joao Cancelo facing his old club.

Inter: Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, De Vrij, Skriniar, Asamoah; Vecino, Brozovic; Politano, Nainggolan, Perisic; Lautaro Martinez
