We're underway at San Siro.
Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Serie A clash between Inter and Milan at San Siro.
Inter have been on form in the early stages of the campaign, taking a three-match unbeaten run in the contest. They defeated Fiorentina in dramatic fashion on the opening day before hammering Benevento. The Nerazzurri played out a 1-1 draw last time out against Lazio on the road in an ill-tempered affair. Antonio Conte will be searching for a controlled effort from his team today.
Milan have been the form side of Serie A to start the campaign. Stefano Pioli's men have beaten Bologna, Crotone and Spezia in their opening three matches without conceding a goal. The Rossoneri have hardly played the cream of the crop of Italian football, but they've met expectations with their 100% record. However, more will be required against their bitter rivals today.
INTER (3-4-3): Samir Handanovic; Danilo D'Ambrosio, Stefan de Vrij, Aleksandar Kolarov; Achraf Hakimi, Marcelo Brozovic, Arturo Vidal, Ivan Perisic; Lautaro Martinez, Nicolo Barella, Romelu Lukaku.
INTER SUBS: Alexis Sanchez, Andrea Ranocchia, Christian Eriksen, Daniele Padelli, Filip Stankovic, Matteo Darmian, Lorenzo Moretti, Franco Vezzoni, Niccolo Squizzato, Martin Satriano, Andrea Pinamonti.
MILAN (4-2-3-1): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Davide Calabria, Simon Kjaer, Alessio Romagnoli, Theo Hernandez; Ismael Bennacer, Franck Kessie; Alexis Saelemaekers, Hakan Calhanoglu, Rafael Leao; Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
MILAN SUBS: Ciprian Tatarasanu, Diogo Dalot, Samu Castillejo, Sandro Tonali, Andrea Conti, Jens Hauge, Pierre Kalulu Kyatengwa, Brahim Diaz, Daniel Maldini, Lorenzo Colombo, Rade Krunic, Antonio Donnarumma.
The Rossoneri will be satisfied with their performance, although they lacked a cutting edge outside of Ibrahimovic in the final third. There are more goals in this game, especially with the strikers on show.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Inter are in Champions League action next time out, facing Borussia Monchengladbach at home on Wednesday. Milan are also in European action next week, playing Celtic on the road in the Europa League on Thursday.
