The return of Serie A action this weekend includes a huge derby showdown as Inter Milan and AC Milan do battle at the San Siro on September 16.
Inter will 'host' their fierce rivals at stadium they share, with the two teams enjoying a perfect winning start to the league campaign after three league victories each. That means something will have to give in the 238th official meeting of these sides.
The rivalry took on an extra edge in the final weeks of 2022/23, as Inter stormed past their city foes in the Champions League semifinals before losing out to Manchester City in the final. The Nerazzurri have responded well to that setback in June, plus the loss of goalkeeper Andre Onana to Manchester United, and have yet to concede a goal this season.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
