Inter try to bring some of their Champions League form to Serie A against high-flying Monza with Romelu Lukaku and Joaquin Correa facing Matteo Pessina.

It kicks off at San Siro at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Napoli-Verona on the LIVEBLOG.

The Nerazzurri look like a completely different team in cup competitions, holding Juventus 1-1 in the Coppa Italia semi-final and winning 2-0 away to Benfica in the Champions League quarter-final.

Yet in Serie A they’ve slipped to fifth place after one win and a draw in six rounds, so desperately need to turn this situation around.

Lukaku and Tucu Correa are chosen to lead the attack, with squad rotation kept to an absolute minimum and Milan Skriniar still out injured.

Monza are doing remarkably well for a side in their first ever Serie A season, especially as they started with one point from the opening six rounds.

Their form dropped off a little recently, with one win in seven games, but they remain comfortably mid-table and want a good result to dedicate to President Silvio Berlusconi in hospital.

Filippo Ranocchia is on the treatment table, but Gianluca Caprari returns to face his old club with Italy international Pessina.

Stefano Sensi and Michele Di Gregorio also have a past at Inter.

Inter: Onana; Darmian, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Gosens; Correa, Lukaku

Monza: Di Gregorio; Izzo, Pablo Mari, Caldirola; Ciurria, Pessina, Rovella, Carlos Augusto; Colpani, Sensi; Mota
