The Nerazzurri have a full squad to choose from, as Icardi and Joao Miranda are available again, but Borja Valero is not 100 per cent fit.

With that in mind, it’s reported Rafinha could start in a trequartista role flanked by Ivan Perisic and Antonio Candreva, supporting Icardi.

This would move Marcelo Brozovic into a midfield role with Roberto Gagliardini.

Napoli are missing Vlad Chiriches and Faouzi Ghoulam, but Arkadiusz Milik is in the squad travelling to Milan.

The Partenopei are still stinging from their shock 4-2 home defeat to Roma and the pressure is on, especially as by the time this game kicks off, Juventus might’ve beaten Udinese to go top of the table.

Marek Hamsik has shaken off flu symptoms to take back his usual midfield spot, sending Piotr Zielinski to the bench, while Allan can celebrate his new contract.

Mario Rui will need a boost, as two of his errors proved very costly against Roma last week, while Jose Callejon, Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne lead the way.

Napoli have lost only one of their last 10 Serie A meetings with Inter, home and away, along with four draws. The lone victory was 2-0 at San Siro in April 2016.

Probable line-ups

Inter: Handanovic; Cancelo, Skriniar, Miranda, D’Ambrosio; Brozovic, Gagliardini; Candreva, Rafinha, Perisic; Icardi

Napoli: Reina; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Allan, Jorginho, Hamsik; Callejon, Mertens, Insigne
