Inter Milan vs. AC Milan lineups, team news

Inter coach Simone Inzaghi benched Lautaro Martinez for the midweek Champions League match against Man City, but the Argentine should return here to replace Mehdi Taremi up front. It's also possible that Henrikh Mkhitaryan returns after coming off the bench in European play, but like Martinez, he has also struggled for form early in the campaign.

The only injury issue for Inter is the absence of Tajon Buchanan, who is close to returning from his broken leg but will be eased back into action. Marko Arnautovic missed the Champions League game with an illness but should be available for selection.

Inter Milan predicted XI (3-5-2, right to left): Sommer (GK) — Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni — Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Augusto — Thuram, L. Martinez.

Injured: Buchanan
Suspended: None

AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan was forced off from their midweek Champions League defeat to Liverpool after taking a beating all game, but got good news as scans showed no damage, and he should be available for selection. That's important considering backup Marco Sportiello is still recovering from his fluky hand injury from preseason.

Like Maignan, Davide Calabria is also fine after coming off the Champions League game injured, but they are still without Malick Thiaw and Ismael Bennacer who both have multi-week ankle injuries, with the latter expected to miss the first half of the season. Alessandro Florenzi is also down for a number of months after an ACL tear.

AC Milan predicted XI (4-4-2, right to left): Maignan (GK) — Emerson, Tomori, Pavlovic, Hernandez — Fofana, Loftus-Cheek — Pulisic, Reijnders, Leao — Morata

Injured: - Thiaw, Bennacer, Florenzi
Suspended: None

Juventus vs. Napoli Prediction 

The Milan derby is known to be among the most fiercest and entertaining cross-city rivalries in world football. This week's game is expected to deliver on that promise yet again.

Inter Milan however, may just walk away with three points in this match, but it could be a close affair.
