Joaquin Correa admits Milan’s defeat last night puts extra pressure on Inter and Napoli in today’s showdown. ‘We need to make the most of the situation.’
It kicks off at San Siro at 17.00 GMT, you can follow all the build-up and action as it happens on the LIVEBLOG.
“This is a very difficult match, but we prepared well for it,” Correa told Inter TV.
“We did well in training this week, everyone is ready and we hope to pick up the three points this evening.”
It was already a clash between third and first, but after joint leaders Milan lost 4-3 to Fiorentina last night, the stakes have become even higher.
Inter can close to within four points of both Napoli and Milan, while the Partenopei could break away at the top, leaving the Nerazzurri 10 points adrift.
“Milan certainly dropped three important points and we need to make the most of the situation. We play the other leaders today and are aware of how much this game means.”
Correa was chosen to partner Lautaro Martinez because Edin Dzeko has a slight muscular issue and did not play for Bosnia on international duty.
“I can only thank the fans, as they give us such strength and we’ll do everything to give them joy.”
