We're underway at the San Siro.
Inter are enjoying a strong season in Serie A under Luciano Spalletti and are well in the battle for the title, although they too have lost their last two league matches. The Nerazzurri have been beaten by Udinese and Sassuolo in their last two outings and cannot allow the negative trend to continue against their bitter rivals.
The aspect of the Milan derby adds extra spice to the Coppa Italia quarter-final contest - one which Gennaro Gattuso's men can ill afford to lose. Milan are struggling in Serie A, suffering back-to-back defeats to Hellas Verona and Atalanta. As a result, the Rossoneri are now in the bottom half of the table. Gattuso needs a win this evening to reach the last four to ease the pressure.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the Coppa Italia clash between Milan and Inter at the San Siro.
Milan are without Gianluigi Donnarumma this evening as the keeper sustained an injury during his side's defeat to Atalanta. Marco Storari replaces him between the sticks, while Suso and Alessio Romagnoli return from suspension to start. Lucas Biglia also gets the nod ahead of Riccardo Montolivo in the middle of the park. Fabio Borini, Patrick Cutrone and Mateo Musacchio also drop out of the side from the defeat on Saturday.
Andrea Ranocchia and Yuto Nagatomo come into the side for Spalletti's men this evening as Joao Miranda and Danilo D’Ambrosio miss out due to injury. Joao Mario starts ahead of Borja Valero as part of a three-man attacking line by spearhead Mauro Icardi.
STAT ATTACK! Milan and Inter have faced off twice in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, with the sides splitting the victories at two apiece.
As expected the San Siro is packed ahead of kick-off and there should be an excellent atmopshere for the derby clash.
BREAKING TEAM NEWS! Antonio Donnarumma will replace Storari between the sticks as the keeper sustained an injury in the warm-up.
HALF-TIME: MILAN 0-0 INTER
It's goalless at the break in the Milan derby in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia. Inter did have the ball in the net, only for Ivan Perisic's strike to be chalked off by VAR as Andrea Ranocchia was deemed to be in an offside position. Milan have not offered a great deal in the final third, with their best attempt coming through Suso, who was denied by a solid stop from Samir Handanovic. Both managers will be demanding an improvement from their teams at the interval.
END OF 90 MINUTES: MILAN 0-0 INTER
Both sides spurned glorious chances in the second half to secure the victory. Joao Mario perhaps missed the best opening, firing straight at Antonio Donnarumma from close range. Giacomo Bonaventura also lacked a clinical edge, heading over after a mistake from Samir Handanovic. As a result, there will be an additional 30 minutes of play at the least.
HALF-TIME EXTRA-TIME: MILAN 1-0 INTER
FULL-TIME: MILAN 1-0 INTER
MILAN ADVANCE TO THE LAST FOUR OF THE COPPA ITALIA!
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Patrick Cutrone hands a huge victory to Gennaro Gattuso, ending a run of back-to-back defeats for Milan. The Rossoneri are out contention for the title and even the Champions League in Serie A, but this result has given them hope for a trophy in the second half of the campaign. Inter drop to their third defeat on the spin and will rue a number of missed chances this evening. Luciano Spalletti's men cannot afford to let their form to head on a downward spiral and undo their hard work earlier in the term.
