Inter are in dire need of a victory to stay in the hunt for a top three finish, but face a very difficult trip to Marco Borriello’s Cagliari.
It kicks off at 14.00 GMT, follow the build-up and action from all today’s Serie A games on the Liveblog.
The Nerazzurri were shaken by last week’s 3-1 home defeat to Roma and risk falling further behind in the race for a Champions League spot.

The Nerazzurri were shaken by last week’s 3-1 home defeat to Roma and risk falling further behind in the race for a Champions League spot.
Marcelo Brozovic hasn’t made the journey to Sardinia, though Joao Miranda is back after missing the Roma game through suspension.
Joao Mario is not 100 per cent fit either, so Ever Banega is given a rare start with Antonio Candreva and Ivan Perisic supporting Mauro Icardi.
Cagliari have one of the worst defensive records in the division, but are also very prolific on home turf, so tend to guarantee entertaining games at the Stadio Sant’Elia.
They also already beat Inter earlier this season at San Siro.
Luca Ceppitelli, Paolo Farago and Federico Melchiorri are all unavailable, though veteran centre-forward Borriello has enjoyed a remarkable renaissance with 15 goals in 26 games between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
He leads the way with Joao Pedro in a more advanced role, leaving Marco Sau on the bench.
Inter are unbeaten in Sardinia since April 2013, emerging with a draw and 2-1 victory.
However, the Nerazzurri have won just one of their last eight meetings with Cagliari, home and away, drawing four and losing three.
Cagliari: Gabriel; Isla, Pisacane, Bruno Alves, Capuano; Di Gennaro, Barella, Ionita, Padoin; Joao Pedro, Borriello
Inter: Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Medel, Miranda, Ansaldi; Gagliardini, Kondogbia; Candreva, Banega, Perisic; Icardi
