Tensions are sky high ahead of a Derby d’Italia between Juventus and Inter that could decide the course of the title race in the coming months.
The match between the Bianconeri and the Nerazzurri kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
Juventus enter the weekend two points behind league leaders Inter after 12 matches, having lost just once since the start of the term. Without European commitments, Massimiliano Allegri’s side can place their full focus on the fight for the Scudetto.
The Old Lady cannot count on Danilo, Mattia De Sciglio and Timothy Weah, all of whom are injured. Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli are unavailable through suspension.
Inter have looked almost flawless in the first few months of the season, maintaining the momentum that brought them to the Champions League final last season. Simone Inzaghi is desperately working to secure his first Scudetto with the club, pilling the pressure on for this derby.
The Nerazzurri are without the injured Alessandro Bastoni, Benjaman Pavard and Kristjan Asllani.
Probable line-ups for Juventus vs Inter
Juventus (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Rugani; McKennie, Miretti, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Vlahovic, Chiesa.
Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Darmian, De Vrij, Acerbi; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro, Thuram.
