Inter are poised for their highest opening-day crowd at San Siro since their post-treble campaign in 2010-11, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Nerazzurri will play Lecce in their first Serie A fixture of the new campaign tonight, with around 65,000 supporters expected in attendance.

Inter’s last capacity of that size on the opening weekend came in a 2-1 win against Udinese nine seasons ago.

Antonio Conte’s arrival as head coach has generated huge enthusiasm among supporters, as well as raising expectation levels.

Inter impressed throughout preseason and are now ready to play their first competitive match after a grueling summer of training.

Romelu Lukaku is expected to make his full debut up front while Stefano Sensi should also make his first official appearance in midfield.

Antonio Candreva is likely to get the nod ahead of Valentino Lazaro on the right wing while Kwadwo Asamoah starts on the opposite flank.

Danilo D’Ambrosio will complete Inter’s new-look back three alongside Stefan de Vrij and Milan Skriniar, with Diego Godin ruled out through injury.
