Where to Watch Live
Kick-off is set for 7.45pm GMT, with ESPN UK and ESPN UK HD providing live coverage.
Prediction
Inter approach the derby as the team that threw away a huge lead that they had earlier build up over Milan in the first part of the season. That could also mean that the Neroazzurri have nothing more to lose and may want to show their pride.
Milan have just completed an impressive rise up the table and now might even have an eye on Napoli in 2nd. They also won 2-0 against Barcelona on a magic night at the Meazza in midweek. Allegri's team may need some rest, but it would be a waste to do it in what is probably the most important league match of the season.
"Usually the favourites don't win" is the most classic comment about any derby, always followed by each manager saying that the opponents are the favourites. Mind games help putting pressure on the opposition, but at the moment there no need to add to it. The game is crucial for city dominance, but also for the race for third place and to build consistency with the latest positive European results, for both sides.
Milan played an energy draining match against Barcelona in the week, but they have had one more day of rest than Inter, while Stramaccioni's troop had also to travel back from Romania. The manager that made his way through Roma's youth system had no chance to rotate his squad. Both teams could be tired, so substitutes will be a factor, and both managers' selections will be important too. Inter should leave Milan to control the match and try spring a counter-attack with Palacio.
