Frank de Boer is hanging by a thread and makes more changes to Inter, dropping Ivan Perisic and returning Ever Banega, against on-form Torino.

The Nerazzurri are in absolute crisis with three consecutive Serie A defeats and some dismal performances, while there are reports Laurent Blanc has already been contacted to take over.

There is no option for De Boer but to win tonight or face the sack after just two months at the helm.

He makes some big changes to the side that lost 2-1 to Atalanta at the weekend, including one forced by Gary Medel’s three-match ban for an off the ball incident.

Geoffrey Kondogbia is unavailable due to a muscular problem and Perisic is dropped, but Banega returns to the trequartista role after he was left out for tactical reasons.

Marcelo Brozovic gets another start in midfield with Joao Mario, but Davide Santon is benched following his late penalty foul in Bergamo.

Torino have multiple reasons to do well in this fixture, as so many of their representatives have a point to prove at San Siro.

It’s a return for ex-Inter defender and assistant manager to Roberto Mancini – the man De Boer replaced – Sinisa Mihajlovic.

Adem Ljajic also faces the club that decided not to sign him outright after last season’s loan spell.

There is more drama when it comes to Maxi Lopez, who has been engaged in a bitter feud with his former friend Mauro Icardi after the Inter striker married his ex-wife.

Leandro Castan is ruled out by injury, so Emiliano Moretti steps into the defence.

Toro are on a six-game unbeaten run and have won both their last two visits to San Siro.

Inter: Handanovic; Ansaldi, Miranda, Murillo, Nagatomo; Brozovic, Joao Mario, Banega; Candreva, Icardi, Eder

Torino: Hart; Zappacosta, Rossettini, Moretti, Barreca; Acquah, Valdifiori, Obi; Iago Falque, Belotti, Ljajic
