Key events
Finding this video of a moving bus, with the chosen music, quite amusing.
Hereâs a little something to get you in the mood. Up top is that classic shot of Rui Costa and Marco Materazzi taking in the flares.
As an aside, I just want to say I very much enjoyed this on Nottingham Forestâs temper tantrum.
Milan make two changes from the starting XI that were eliminated from the Europa League last week by Roma: Olivier Giroud and Ismaël Bennacer are out; Yacine Adli and Tijjani Reijnders are in. Inter also make two changes from their last game, a 2-2 draw to Cagliari: in come World Cup winners Benjamin Pavard (class of 2018) and Lautaro MartÃnez (2022), with Yann Aurel Bisseck and Alexis Sánchez the men replaced.
The teams
Hereâs how theyâre looking.
Preamble
Hello, hello, hello and welcome to a potential shift in history. Yes, this is no regular Derby della Madonnina. Victory will give Inter their 20th league title, moving them ahead of Milan on the Scudetto list (with Juventus sitting comfortably up top with a whopping 36). The men in blue and black are 14 points ahead of their second-placed rivals, and the only possible joy available to Messrs Giroud, Loftus-Cheek, Tomori, Pulisic (the Milanese Blues) and co is to delay the victory parade.
Powered at one end by the goals of Lautaro MartÃnez (23), and at the other by the clean sheets of Yann Sommer (17), Inter have lost just once in Serie A this season and that was back in September to Sassuolo. This is their title to collect, and how sweet it would be for the coronation to coincide with a sixth consecutive win over the Rossoneri. Regardless of the result, this should be rather fun. Kick-offâs at 7.45pm BST.
