Serie A line-ups: Milan vs. Inter | OneFootball

Milan give Kyle Walker his debut with Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao, while Inter bring Hakan Calhanoglu back in support of Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez.

It kicks off at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, in the San Siro area of Milan, at 17.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games on the Liveblog.

This is the third time in the current campaign that the Derby della Madonnina has been played, with Milan so far winning 2-1 in Serie A back in September and 3-2 in the Supercoppa Italiana Final in Riyadh on January 6.

That was only Sergio Conceicao’s second game in charge and his side were trailing 2-0 before fighting back to take the trophy.

The Rossoneri have Youssouf Fofana suspended, Emerson Royal, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Alessandro Florenzi injured, plus Malick Thiaw not fully fit, but the transfer market has decimated the squad further.

Alvaro Morata is heading to Galatasaray, Davide Calabria to Bologna, with new signing Santiago Gimenez watching from the stands ahead of his move from Feyenoord.

So Abraham has to lead the attack with Pulisic and Leao, while Walker is thrown straight into the starting XI for his Serie A debut.

Confidence is low after Wednesday’s Champions League defeat to Dinamo Zagreb.

Inter only lost one Serie A match all season, the derby back in September 2024, and comfortably beat 10-man AS Monaco 3-0 to secure a place in the Round of 16.

Joaquin Correa is the only remaining injury absentee, as Calhanoglu returns to the starting XI against his former club and Francesco Acerbi is back on the bench.

So is Nicola Zalewski, who completed his loan with option to buy move from Roma just in time for the midnight deadline.

After a dry spell, Lautaro Martinez now can’t seem to stop scoring, with seven goals in the last five competitive games.

Milan: Maignan; Walker, Tomori, Pavlovic, Theo Hernandez; Musah, Bennacer, Reijnders; Pulisic, Abraham, Leao

Inter: Sommer; Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro Martinez
