Roberto Mancini could not have asked for a better start to this season, as Inter are top of the table with a perfect record, although all those wins were by a one-goal margin.

Joao Miranda and Juan Jesus are available again, though Jeison Murillo misses out, while Ljajic gets his first start alongside Mauro Icardi and Ivan Perisic.

Felipe Melo has made a huge difference in midfield, even if his gritty playing style isn’t to everyone’s tastes.

“If you don’t want a contact sport, you’d better take up tennis,” was his reply to critics.

There had been rumours Marcelo Brozovic would start, but Fredy Guarin gets the nod again.

Verona are in the relegation zone without a single victory this season, though they did play out three entertaining draws.

There’s huge pressure on the rest of the squad now that star striker Luca Toni is out for around two months with a knee injury.

He’s not the only absentee, as Emil Halfredsson, Rafael Marquez, Artur Ionita, Romulo and suspended Bosko Jankovic also miss out.

Former Inter and Milan striker Giampaolo Pazzini is familiar with San Siro, so he’ll lead the way with Juanito Gomez Taleb and Luca Siligardi.

Last season this fixture ended 2-2, but Inter made up for it with a 3-0 victory in Verona.

Only one of the last eight competitive meetings between these sides, home and away, has seen a share of the spoils.

There also tends to be entertainment, as they’ve netted 35 goals in their last 11 encounters.

However, Verona have never won at San Siro with only 11 draws from 30 attempts.

Inter: Handanovic; Santon, Medel, Miranda, Telles; Guarin, Melo, Kondogbia; Perisic, Ljajic; Icardi

Verona: Rafael; Bianchetti, Moras, Helander; Albertazzi, Sala, Viviani, Greco, Pisano; Pazzini, Gomez Taleb
