The Nerazzurri are finding their form after big wins over Sassuolo and Borussia Monchengladbach, climbing to joint second place in Serie A with the Neroverdi.
Antonio Conte is therefore torn between keeping the momentum going and resting players ahead of next week’s absolutely decisive Champions League showdown with Shakhtar Donetsk.
Lautaro Martinez is rested this time, so Alexis Sanchez partners Lukaku, with Hakimi and Perisic more attacking options on the wings.
Radja Nainggolan, Aleksandar Kolarov, Matias Vecino and Andrea Pinamonti are still out of action.
Bologna last week achieved something truly unusual for them, a clean sheet, ending a run of 41 consecutive Serie A games in which they conceded at least a goal.
Riccardo Orsolini is out for several weeks, along with Federico Santander, Stefano Denswil, Andreas Skov Olsen, Mitchell Dijks and Andrea Poli.
Gary Medel is back after a long injury lay-off, as Sinisa Mihajlovic is still keeping everyone guessing on the exact shape of his tactical system.
It looks like a 3-4-1-2 to counter Antonio Conte’s formation, with Medel in the back three.
Inter: Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Hakimi, Vidal, Brozovic, Gagliardini, Perisic; R Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez
Bologna: Skorupski; Medel, Danilo, Tomiyasu; De Silvestri, Svanberg, Schouten, Hickey; Soriano; Palacio, Barrow
