The Nerazzurri kept themselves in the Scudetto challenge with a 1-0 victory away to Juventus, and now sit four points behind leaders Milan with a game in hand.

“I think we won a very important match, a head-to-head against a very strong side, it was what we needed at this moment,” Inzaghi told DAZN.

“This too is a difficult test today and we need the right approach from the start.”

With Lautaro Martinez suspended, Joaquin Correa gets the nod alongside Edin Dzeko, while Stefan de Vrij returns after a month out with a calf injury.

“We all know how important De Vrij is for us, but we’ve had to do without him several times this season, just like other individual talents. Everyone over the campaign proved they can step up and do what we need.

“Correa is a player I know very well, who is an added bonus when he’s not injured. His adventure with Inter had started in the best way, a double injury delayed him, but today he has a great opportunity to shine.”
