Inter need a victory to retake top spot with Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram against an unpredictable mid-table Frosinone side.

It kicks off at San Siro at 19.45 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action from today’s five Serie A games on the LIVEBLOG.

Juventus squeezed past Cagliari last night and temporarily took the leadership, so the pressure is on, especially as they go head-to-head after the break for international duty.

The Nerazzurri qualified for the Champions League Round of 16 with the midweek win over RB Salzburg and rested several big names.

Many of them return here, including Lautaro Martinez, Denzel Dumfries, Federico Dimarco and Nicolò Barella.

Benjamin Pavard and Juan Cuadrado are still out of action.

Frosinone hit the headlines a couple of weeks ago for an extraordinary 4-3 defeat away to Cagliari, a game they had been winning 3-0 until the 70th minute.

They made up for it by beating Empoli 2-1 to consolidate their mid-table status.

This is a very special match for goalkeeper Stefano Turati, who spent time in the Inter youth academy and is such a big fan that he was in the Curva with the ultras during May’s Coppa Italia Final against Fiorentina.

Sergio Kalaj and Abdou Harroui are on the treatment table, but young strikers Arijon Ibrahimovic, who is only 17, is on the bench after a period of impressive form.

There are several Juventus-owned players in the squad, Kaio Jorge, Matias Soule and Enzo Barrenechea.

Inter: Sommer; Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mhikitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro Martinez

Frosinone: Turati; Oyono, Okoli, Monterisi; Lirola, Barrenechea, Mazzitelli, Marchizza; Soulé, Reinier; Cuni
