One of the biggest games of the European football calendar is coming up in Serie A on Matchday 21 as Inter face AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina.
Neither side are having the season that they expected so far and defeat for either will be met with serious anger from the fanbases, perhaps more so for Milan who are without a win since January 4.
Both sides appear too far away from Napoli now to be thinking about a title challenge, meaning cementing a place in the top four is the order of the next few months. Inter are the home side for this one, meaning they will have the majority inside the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Inter vs AC Milan: Predicted lineups
Milan are expected to be without Ismael Bennacer for the derby and they could also be missing Fikayo Tomori as well. That means Tommaso Pobega and Simon Kjaer could come in.
As for the Nerazzurri, they will get Milan Skirniar and Nicolo Barella back from suspension, whilst Marcelo Brozovic should be back in the squad. Inter do have a Coppa Italia tie against Atalanta to contend with on Tuesday which could bring injuries.
