Milan and Inter are both in action this evening, against Atalanta and Udinese respectively, with the Winter Champions title up for grabs.

Both kick off at 17.00 GMT, you can read the previews here.

The Rossoneri have a three-point advantage going in, but as positions are decided by goal difference at the midway stage – compared to head-to-head record come the end of the season – Inter could technically still take it.

The Rossoneri have a three-point advantage going in, but as positions are decided by goal difference at the midway stage – compared to head-to-head record come the end of the season – Inter could technically still take it.

The Nerazzurri would need to win in Udine, with Milan simultaneously losing at San Siro to Atalanta.

Stefano Pioli welcomes back Theo Hernandez, Ante Rebic and Rade Krunic, while Mario Mandzukic and Fikayo Tomori are in the squad for the first time following their January transfers.

Alessio Romagnoli and Alexis Saelemaekers are suspended, with Hakan Calhanoglu out due to COVID, plus Ismael Bennacer and Matteo Gabbia injured.

Pierre Kalulu is therefore expected to step into centre-back with Simon Kjaer, while Brahim Diaz and Rafael Leao support Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Atalanta have almost a full squad to choose from, missing only Mario Pasalic, and Duvan Zapata returns after he was rested for the midweek 1-1 draw with Udinese.

Inter also have very few concerns, as Danilo D’Ambrosio is the only injury absentee, so it should be the usual ideal Antonio Conte XI.

Udinese have more issues to deal with, missing Mato Jajalo, Ignacio Pussetto, Stefano Okaka and Fernando Forestieri.

Kevin Lasagna can make probably his final appearance for the club ahead of a transfer to Hellas Verona.

Milan: G Donnarumma; Calabria, Kalulu, Kjaer, Theo Hernandez; Kessie, Tonali; Castillejo, Brahim Diaz, Leao; Ibrahimovic
