What is the team news?
Inter Milan’s disciplinary record in recent matches could hamper them against their local rivals.
Lautaro Martinez, Alessandro Bastoni and goalkeeper Tommaso Berni are all suspended for the game, while injuries to Borja Valero and Roberto Gagliardini has limited their midfield options.
Yet, the absence of Samir Handanovic – along with Berni already out – will see Daniele Padelli remain in goal for just his second Serie A appearance for Internazionale.
Meanwhile, AC Milan are without influential midfielder Lucas Biglia, along with Leo Duarte and Rade Krunic through injury.
Romelu Lukaku has 16 Serie A goals this season, with only Ciro Immobile and Cristiano Ronaldo netting more
Stat attack!
- Zlatan Ibrahimovic can move up to joint sixth in the all-time top scorers in this fixture should he add to his six goals
- Inter Milan are unbeaten in the last four matches of this fixture, including three wins in a row
- This will be the 225th official meeting between the two – 296th overall
What are the odds?
Inter Milan are favourites to claim victory against their arch-enemies at 19/20, while i Rossoneri are 29/10 to end the winless run.
Ibrahimovic has been an inspiration to AC Milan since joining in December, even when not playing.
Yet, the Swede is expected to feature and a goal and an assist from the ex-Inter star gives punters a price of 25/1, according to Ladbrokes.
But, Romelu Lukaku has been sensational since leaving Manchester United for Inter and is 22/1 to bag a hat-trick in the derby.
