AC Milan vs Inter LIVE: Team news
Even though both teams kick off their Champions League campaigns in the coming days – each meeting German opposition – their respective coaches will name the best sides available to them on Saturday evening.
Of course, Stefano Pioli – briefly Inter manager in 2016-17 – will be unable to call upon the services of another ex-Nerazzurro, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has been sidelined for several months following knee surgery, but also has concerns regarding Rade Krunic and Ante Rebic.
Alessandro Florenzi came off with a muscular injury in midweek and is expected to be out for a number of weeks, so Davide Calabria returns at right-back; new loan signing Sergino Dest will not feature yet.

While Olivier Giroud is again set to lead the Rossoneri’s front three, Inter will be without one of their ‘Lu-La’ pairing up front, as Romelu Lukaku continues to struggle with a thigh problem – Edin Dzeko and Joaquin Correa therefore battle it out to partner Lautaro Martinez.
Alessandro Bastoni is likely to return to Simone Inzaghi’s three-man defence, so Federico Dimarco could either drop out of the first XI or switch to the left flank of a familiar 3-5-2 formation.
Summer signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan remains on the treatment table, and has yet to make his league debut for the club, but Inter otherwise have a clean bill of health.
AC Milan vs Inter Predicted Starting XI
AC Milan possible starting lineup:
Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Hernandez; Bennacer, Tonali; Messias, Diaz, Leao; Giroud
Inter Milan possible starting lineup:
Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Dimarco; Martinez, Dzeko
