Claudio Ranieri's Inter Milan take on Marseille tomorrow evening with their manager's future reportedly on the line. Here, Sports Mole examines whether or not Ranieri will have a job on Wednesday morning.

Claudio Ranieri heads into Inter Milan's Champions League tie against Marseille tomorrow evening with fresh speculation that a defeat will spell the end of his reign in charge of the Italians.

Inter head into the match knowing that only a victory will do if they are to progress through to the quarter-finals, having lost the opening leg in France 1-0 a fortnight ago.

Ranieri's side will be boosted by Friday's 2-0 win over Chievo - their first win in nine attempts.

Having recently been sat on the bench, Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder is expected to be recalled to the Inter starting lineup.

Visiting Marseille may be able to call upon striker Loic Remy, who returned from a knee injury at the weekend.

If Marseille emerge victorious at the San Siro, it will be the first time that the French club have reached the last eight since they won the competition in 1993.

Current form:

Inter: LLLLDW
Marseille: DWLLLL

Possible lineups:

Inter: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Nagatomo;Zanetti, Stankovic, Cambiasso; Sneijder; Milito, Forlan

Marseille: Mandanda; Azpilicueta, Diawara, Nkoulou, Morel; Diarra, Cheyrou; Amalfitano, Valbuena, Ayew; Remy

Sports Mole says: 1-1
