Inter rotate the squad with Davide Frattesi and Kristjan Asllani getting rare starts, though Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez remain upfront against Alessandro Nesta’s Monza.
It kicks off at the U-Power Stadium at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).
The Nerazzurri have the opportunity to go clear at the top of the table, as Juventus were held 0-0 by Empoli on Saturday.
With the Champions League opener against Manchester City coming up on Wednesday and then the Derby della Madonnina with Milan next weekend, Simone Inzaghi takes this opportunity to rotate the squad.
Hakan Calhanoglu already had a muscular issue on international duty, so Asllani steps in and Frattesi is rewarded for his goal-scoring exploits for Italy.
Monza have struggled badly so far this season under new coach Nesta, scraping only two points from three rounds.
There was a boost when leading 2-0 away to Fiorentina, but were pegged back for 2-2.
Patrick Ciurria, Samuele Birindelli and Alessio Cragno remain on the treatment table, but Dany Mota Carvalho and Stefano Sensi are back in the squad.
It’s a special game for ex-Milan midfielder Daniel Maldini, but above all goalkeeper Stefano Turati, who is a lifelong Inter supporter.
