Italy coach Luciano Spalletti will be at San Siro this evening to watch his two former clubs, Inter and Roma, face off with several Azzurri in action.

It kicks off at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza at 17.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Napoli-Milan and Monza-Udinese on the LIVEBLOG.

Among those in the stands for this massive showdown is Nazionale manager Spalletti, who is preparing for the upcoming EURO 2024 qualifiers against North Macedonia and Ukraine.

It will also see Spalletti have torn loyalties, because he has represented both clubs in his career.

There were two different spells at Roma, from 2005 to 2009 and again from January 2016 to May 2017, which is when he famously clashed with legend Francesco Totti.

After that, he had a two-year experience at Inter from 2017 to 2019, taking them back into the Champions League before he was sacked in favour of Antonio Conte.

Spalletti picks Inter-Roma rather than this evening’s NapoliMilan because there are bound to be far more Italians on the field in this fixture.

They include Alessandro Bastoni, Stephan El Shaarawy, Nicolò Barella, Gianluca Mancini, Federico Dimarco, Bryan Cristante, Francesco Acerbi, Edoardo Bove, Davide Frattesi and Andrea Belotti.
