How Inter Milan could line up against AC Milan

Sports Mole looks at how Inter Milan could line up in Sunday's Serie A clash with AC Milan.

Inter Milan will be looking for their seventh straight win in all competitions when they host AC Milan in the Milan derby on Sunday night.

Inter have been victorious in each of their last four Serie A matches to move into third position in the table and currently sit four points and seven positions above their bitter rivals Milan entering this weekend's match.

Inter recorded a 3-2 win in the corresponding fixture last season, but they have only won one of the last six meetings between the two teams in all competitions.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the hosts could line up at San Siro.


Possible INT XI vs. AC

Doubtful: Matias Vecino (muscular)

Inter's main injury concern involves midfielder Matias Vecino, who was forced to leave the Uruguay camp early after picking up a hamstring problem during the recent international break.

Vecino is expected to pass a late fitness test, however, to once again start in the middle of the park alongside Borja Valero.

Further forward, Ivan Perisic, Radja Nainggolan and Keita Balde Diao will all operate behind Mauro Icardi, who has again been in fine form this season.

Indeed, Icardi has netted five times in eight appearances for Inter this term, and will be desperate to add to his three Serie A goals for the season against Milan.

Inter boss Luciano Spalletti is also expected to keep with the same back four that started against SPAL last time out, meaning that Kwadwo Asamoah will keep out Dalbert Henrique at left-back.
