The Nerazzurri coach stressed he has problems in the middle ahead of the crucial match but claimed his players have proven to overcome such a challenge already.

Inter must win to have a chance of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League and Real Madrid or Borussia Möcnhengladbach must win their meeting in Madrid.

Eriksen should be found next to Marcelo Brozovic and Roberto Gagliardini in the middle, with Achraf Hakimi at right and Ashley Young at left.

Samir Handanovic is certain to start between the sticks, with Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij and Alessandro Bastoni in the back-three.

Conte trusts Lautaro Martinez and Romelu Lukaku to continue to deliver the goods up front and help Inter build on their three wins on the bounce.

Shakhtar, on the other hand, are expected to arrive in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Dentinho to spearhead the side.

Tete, Marlos and Taison are tipped to start in the attacking trident behind the centre-forward, despite Manor Solomon’s decisive contribution against Real Madrid last time.

Taras Stepanenko and Viktor Kovalenko are expected in the middle, ahead of an unchanged back four from the match against Madrid.

Inter (probable): Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Hakimi, Gagliardini, Brozovic, Eriksen, Young; Lautaro, Lukaku

Shakhtar (probable): Pyatov; Dodo, Bondar, Vitao, Matvienko; Stepanenko, Kovalenko; Tete, Marlos, Taison; Dentinho

Referee: Vinicic (SLO)
