AC Milan
AC Milan still need a squad with a clean bill of health, with at least three of Stefano Pioli’s stars still missing from action. Antonio Mirante, Pierre Kalulu, and Simon Kjaer are the only absentees, with Malick Thiaw also missing out with a suspension.
Hence, Matteo Gabbia and Fikayo Tomori are best placed to start in central defence for AC Milan, with the support of Alessandro Florenzi and Theo Hernandez from the full-back areas. Pioli might freshen up his starting eleven a bit after a gruelling few days of continuous footballing action.
Hence, Tijjani Reijnders might have a different midfield partner for this derby, with Ismael Bennacer likely to replace Yacine Adli. Pioli might also look to bring Samuel Chukwueze on the right wing, as he was expected to start against Roma, but he acted against it.
Chukwueze could replace Christian Pulisic on the right-hand side and in support of Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao in the front three, with the former coming into this game with a good record against Inter Milan since coming over to Italy.
Inter Milan
Simone Inzaghi has a near full-strength squad at his disposal ahead of the final few games of the season, with only Juan Cuadrado missing from action.
Inter Milan will also have defender Benjamin Pavard and skipper Lautaro Martinez back in action after serving a one-game suspension. Should Inzaghi decide to put the duo back on the pitch, Alexis Sanchez and Yann Bisseck will likely make way for them.
Hakan Calhanoglu will continue to sit at the base of this Inter Milan midfield with support from Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan on either side. Damian might be preferred to Denzel Dumfries, with Federico Dimarco cementing his place on the left flank. Martinez will resume his striking duties alongside regular partner Marcus Thuram.
AC Milan possible starting lineup:
Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Gabbia, Hernandez; Bennacer, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud
Inter Milan possible starting lineup:
Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez
