Udinese are refusing to launch the ball into the box and are instead patiently working it forward. A cross is eventually sent into the middle and it is easily dealt with.
90' +1
Zeegelaar's cross takes a touch on its way through and that makes it awkward for Padelli, who needs two or three goes at keeping it under control. Three minutes have been added on here.
89'
Jajalo gets away from his man and is barged off the ball inside the opposition box. The referee Marco Di Bello does not believe there is enough contact from Brozovic to warrant a penalty.
87'
K. Lasagna gets yellow.
Lasagna clatters into D'Ambrosio and is shown a yellow card late on.
86'
ANOTHER SCARE FOR INTER! Lasagna is picked out in a good position but volleys wide of the target. One of these attempts needs to be on target if Udinese are to rescue a late point.
85'
Inter have had 18 shots today, eight of those on target. Just one of Udinese's 14 efforts have tested Padelli, meanwhile.
83'
Ł. Teodorczyk enters the game and replaces S. Fofana.
D. D'Ambrosio enters the game and replaces V. Moses.
DRAGGED WIDE! Lasagna takes the ball from the feet of Skriniar and has just Padelli to beat, but the angle is against him and he fires right across goal.
D'Ambrosio replaces Moses in a like-for-like change as Conte makes his final substitution.
Poland international striker Teodorczyk is on for Fofana up top.
82'
Lasagna's teasing cross from the left is crying out for one of his team-mates to convert inside the six-yard box. None of them gamble, though, and it goes right the way through.
81'
Sanchez, playing against one of his former clubs today, has played a key part in this victory from the bench. Inter are not quite over the line yet but they are looking pretty comfortable at the back.
Minute
Description
80'
De Paul's long-range shot is well off target. Udinese appear to have run out of ideas, with Inter's second goal taking the confidence out of them.
78'
The ball drops kindly for Barella and he unselfishly tees up Young. The wing-back has a go from range and is way off target with his attempt, much to the dismay of his team-mates.
76'
A goal for Udinese will make things interesting, but the hosts failed to take their chances at 0-0 and this contest now appears to be over. What a massive win this would be for Inter ahead of next week's Milan derby.
72'
M. Zeegelaar enters the game and replaces K. Sema.
M. Jajalo enters the game and replaces B. Nuytinck.
Zeegelaar is on for Sema in the first of Udinese's changes.
Make that a double substitution as Jajalo is on for Nuytinck.
71'
Penalty goal scored by R. Lukaku for Inter Milan!
GOOOOAAAALLL!!!! UDINESE 0-2 INTER!! Lukaku calmly slots the penalty to his left and Musso dives the opposite way. Just like that, Inter have a two-goal lead!
68'
Inter work the ball well and Vecino's shot from 20 yards is blocked by Becao. That came about following a fancy flick from goalscorer Lukaku.
66'
Bastoni closes down a couple of shots in quick succession as Udinese look to make an instant response. Gotti has yet to turn to his bench - that will surely change soon.
64'
R. Lukaku has scored a goal for Inter Milan! Assist by N. Barella.
Barella did well to find Lukaku as he was off balance. The Belgium international did the rest by finding the back of the net.
GOOOOOAAAAALLL!!!! UDINESE 0-1 INTER!!! Lukaku fires Inter in front with a good finish from inside the box. Barella squeezes the ball through for the prolific striker and he curls a shot between the legs of Nuytinck and out of Musso's reach.
63'
SANCHEZ GOES CLOSE! He has only been on the field for five minutes but already Sanchez has come closer to scoring than Esposito, the player he replaced. The Chile international gets away from one player but his shot deflects off another and Musso gathers.
62'
De Vrij acrobatically cuts out the cross before it can reach Lasagne. Udinese, much like in the majority of the first half, are back on top.
61'
Sema's cross deflects into the path of De Paul, who runs onto it but slices wide. He slipped just as he was pulling the trigger!
59'
A. Sánchez enters the game and replaces S. Esposito.
Sanchez takes over from Esposito in the second of Inter's changes.
58'
M. Brozović enters the game and replaces C. Eriksen.
Eriksen's first full start for Inter lasts just short of an hour. Brozovic is on in his place.
57'
PENALTY SHOUT! A cross comes in from the right and Okaka is prevented from getting on the end of it by Skriniar. The Udinese player wants a penalty but the referee waves away the appeals.
Lasagna initially does well to spin in behind his opponent, but he still has a lot to do and is unable to keep his powerful shot on target.
53'
De Paul sends in a free-kick and Lasagna is unable to divert it on target. Nearly 10 minutes of the second half have been played and Udinese look a little off the pace compared to the opening 45.
51'
Inter have started the second half on top, having already tested Musso twice in the Udinese goal. Their play is still a little ponderous, though, and Conte will surely turn to his bench if it remains goalless in 10 minutes' time.
49'
A. Bastoni gets yellow.
Bastoni trips Okaka to prevent Udinese from countering and is shown a yellow card.
46'
RESTART! Inter, who were far from their best in the first half, get us back under way at the Dacia Arena! Neither coach made any changes at the interval.
45' +1
HALF-TIME: UDINESE 0-0 INTER
45'
De Paul's shot is charged down by Bastoni. One minute has been added on at the end of the first half.
44'
Moses has space to run into down the right but elects to pass to Eriksen, who shifts it to Esposito. He does not need a second invitation to shoot, but the effort is blocked 18 yards from goal. Eriksen is also denied from the rebound.
42'
Inter are trying to build some momentum but are not really getting anywhere. They lose possession of the ball and Udinese come forward again, though there is no shot at the end of this latest move.
40'
That block from Young prevented a goal - Larsen's shot looked to be going in if not for the wing-back's intervention. Udinese are starting to dominate this match now as another cross is cut out.
38'
BLOCK! Larsen is played into space down the right following a quick give-and-go but he slips when crossing the ball. From the next attack, Sema wriggles free and finds Larsen, whose volley is charged down by Young in front of goal.
36'
OVER! Eriksen's corner hits a couple of players and drops into the path of Esposito, who hammers a half-volley over the crossbar.
34'
Young wants to cut inside but is shown down the line. His cross towards the penalty spot zone is cut out for a corner.
33'
It has been a while since Inter put together a serious attacking move. Udinese have been the better side overall but have nothing to show for it. Padelli comes a long way off his line to pluck the ball out of the air - good goalkeeping.
31'
That strike from Fofana was not the greatest, and nor was the save from Padelli. Both keepers have been a little shaky in this first half.
30'
ANOTHER PADELLI SAVE! Esposito heads the ball back towards the edge of the box, but none of his team-mates were around. Udinese get the ball forward in a matter of seconds and Fofana's long-range effort is pushed to one side by Padelli.
28'
De Vrij comes across to the left to intercept an attempted throughball. It has been a while since either side created anything, though it is the home team who are looking the more threatening in the final third.
26'
Udinese are creating some promising opportunities. Not for the first time today, Fofana spreads the ball and Inter are able to cut it out.
24'
Musso, perhaps worried that he could not pick up the ball in case it was given as a back-pass, gets himself in a mess and nearly plays his side in trouble. In the end he boots it out for a throw.
22'
Inter's latest attack again breaks down at the feet of Lukaku. The visitors are at least enjoying some sustained pressure now.
20'
CHANCE FOR INTER! Moses gets away from his man down the right and cuts the ball back for Vecino. It is at an awkward height for the midfielder and he knees it wide of the target.
18'
Inter's passing game has been a little off so far. A few times the ball has been fizzed into the feet of Lukaku and he has been unable to control it.
17'
J. Stryger Larsen gets yellow.
Larsen clatters into Young and joins Barella in the referee's book.
16'
SIDE-NETTING! Udinese are very aggressive with their attacking play. De Paul carries the ball forward and slips it into the path of Fofana. He is forced to shoot from a tight angle and can only find the side-netting.
15'
De Paul's shot from more than 30 yards out is blocked. Inter are struggling to get the ball out of their own half at the minute, with Eriksen kicking it straight out of play in an attempt to find Esposito down the line.
13'
The free-kick is headed towards the six-yard box, where Lukaku is waiting to hook it clear. Udinese are enjoying a spell on top.
11'
N. Barella gets yellow.
Barella tries to hook his legs around Lasagna to win the ball. He gets none of the ball and a lot of his opponent, leading to the first booking of the match.
10'
GOOD ATTEMPT! The ball is again played to Eriksen in the hole, but he lets it run over his foot. Udinese get the ball forward and De Paul's thunderous long-ranger is palmed over by Padelli.
7'
ERIKSEN SHOT SAVED! Vecino gets a bit fortunate when the ball falls nicely for him and he lays it off for Eriksen to strike. The ex-Tottenham midfielder puts his foot through the ball but it is pretty central and Musso gets fully behind it.
5'
Fofana carries the ball forward but decides against shooting from around 25 yards. Instead he plays it to Sema on his left, only to overhit the pass as the promising attack fizzles out.
3'
The Inter corner is easily dealt with and Udinese have a chance to regroup. The visitors look as though they mean business today.
2'
EARLY SAVE! Esposito, filling in for the suspended Martinez today, picks up the ball around 30 yards from goal and unleashes a ferocious shot that Musso is unable to handle.
1'
KICK-OFF! Udinese, looking to end a three-game losing run in all competitions, get us up and running!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Serie A meeting between Udinese and Inter at the Dacia Arena.
Udinese have lost three matches in a row in all competitions, including back-to-back defeats in Serie A. That has seen Luca Gotti's side drop down to 15th place, but victory today could lift them back up to 12th. Seventeen of their 24 points this season have come on home soil, so this is a good chance to get their campaign back on track.
Subs: Alexis Sanchez, Antonio Candreva, Marcelo Brozovic, Cristiano Biraghi, Diego Godin, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Samir Handanovic, Andrea Ranocchia, Kwadwo Asamoah, Lucien Agoume, Filip Stankovic.
UDINESE XI (3-5-2): Juan Musso; Rodrigo Becao, Sebastien De Maio, Bram Nuytinck; Jens Stryger Larsen, Rodrigo de Paul, Rolando Mandragora, Seko Fofana, Ken Sema; Kevin Lasagna (c), Stefano Okaka.
Inter have draw their last three league games by the same 1-1 scoreline and now find themselves six points adrift of Juventus, who beat Fiorentina 3-0 earlier on Sunday. Antonio Conte's men have a derby with bitter rivals Milan to come next weekend so they could do with returning to winning ways today.
Subs: Marvin Zeegelaar, Hidde ter Avest, Walace, Ilija Nestorovski, Samuele Perisan, Mato Jajalo, Nicolas, William Troost-Ekong, Lukasz Teodorczyk.
INTER XI (3-5-2): Daniele Padelli; Milan Skriniar (c), Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni; Victor Moses, Matias Vecino, Nicolo Barella, Christian Eriksen, Ashley Young; Romelu Lukaku, Sebastiano Esposito.
The teams are coming out onto the pitch at the Dacia Arena, with kick-off just moments away.
Conte may well decide to change things at the interval with his side heading towards a fourth successive league draw. Sanchez, perhaps unfortunate not to get the nod today, is an option to replace Esposito up top, but that aside options are limited due to Martinez's suspension. As for Udinese, they have Poland international striker Teodorczyk among their subs.
That's all for today's live coverage. Thanks for joining!
Conte's men are back to within three points of leaders Juventus ahead of next week's derby clash with Milan at San Siro. Udinese's winless run in all competitions now spans four matches and next up for them is a trip to strugglers Brescia in seven days.
