Good evening and welcome to Sports Mole's live commentary of the Milan derby at the San Siro.
Both clubs are desperate for a win tonight but for very different reasons as Inter Milan look to close the gap on league leaders Juventus.
AC Milan will be hoping a victory against their fiercest rivals will kick-start their season after a disappointing start to the new campaign.
There's sure to be plenty of excitement and you can follow the drama below.
FTStramaccioni runs over to the Inter fans shouting, in Italian, "It's yours! it's yours!". It's a superb win for Inter but Allegri has some more questions to answer. Thanks for joining me and goodnight.
FTOf course, it wouldn't be a Milan derby without some handbags. Mexes and Milito look to be the main people involved but they're quickly separated.
FTFull Time: Inter survive one last Milan attack and the referee blows the final whistle. Inter are the winners of the first derby this season and Milan's season continues to falter.

83 minsThere's appeals from nearly everywhere in the San Siro as the referee decides against awarding Robinho a penalty. The Brazilian sprinted past Samuel but there isn't much contact and Pazzini is then booked for dissent.
82 minsInter nearly extend their lead against the run of play when Zanetti finds Palacio but the substitute's weak effort is easily stopped by Abbiati.
81 minsSomehow inter survive again when Pazzini fails to make contact with a headed pass from Robinho. Handanovic does well to clear the danger and he wins a free kick in the process.

77 minsRobinho delivers a beautifully weighted cross towards Pazzini at the back post but the striker can't get a touch on the ball. It's the closest Milan have come to a goal.

7.45pmZanetti and Abbiati lead their respective sides out, it's time for the Milan derby to begin and complete this superb weekend of football.
7.42pmWe're fast approaching kick-off now as the players begin to fill the tunnel.
7.38pmDiego Millito starts for Inter. In my eyes he's a rarity in football these days. An old fashioned striker who just wants to score goal rather than be involved with the build up play. On his day, he can be lethal.
7.35pmOf course, both sides play at the San Siro but this is Milan's home fixture tonight.
7.35pmAllegri has left Robinho and Giampaolo Pazzini on the bench, meaning Bojan has a big role to play for the home side tonight.
7.31pmMassimiliano Allegri really needs a win tonight. The Milan manager has been under pressure since the beginning of the season but a victory will surely buy him some time. However, a loss could see his position be called into question once again.
7.26pmInter boss Andrea Stramaccioni has said that there are no favourites in this match but if there is, it's surely his side.
7.23pmBoth of these sides are playing second fiddle so far this season to Juventuts. The Old Lady won again earlier today, against Siena.
7.18pnOver 70,000 people inside the San Siro tonight so you can count on there being a fiery atmosphere.
7.15pmIn case you hadn't noticed, I'll be referring to AC Milan as just Milan and Inter Milan as simply Inter.
7.14pmInter: Handanovic, Ranocchia, Samuel, Juan Jesus, Zanetti, Gargano, Cambiasso, Nagatomo, Coutinho, Milito, Cassano.
7.13pmMilan: Abbiati, Bonera, Yepes, Mexes, De Sciglio, De Jong, Montolivo, Emanuelosn, Boateng, El Shaarawy, Bojan
7.12pmBefore we go any further, here are the teams for tonight.
7.09pmHello everyone, I hope you're looking forward to this as much as I am. It's one of the biggest matches in world football and I'll be here for the next couple of hours to talk you through it.
