Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi will unleash his strongest available line-up in Sunday’s big clash against Juventus.
The Bianconeri will host their arch-rivals for a special edition of the Derby d’Italia as the two clubs have emerged as the main Scudetto contenders.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Inzaghi will field a strong line-up led by Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram.
The Nerazzurri captain struck a swift understanding with the Frenchman who joined the club in the summer.
The Argentine currently leads the Serie A scoring charts with 12 strikes, while Thuram has five goals across all competitions.
In midfield, Inzaghi will rely on Hakan Calhanoglu in between Nicolo Barella and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
The usual duo of Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries will occupy the wingback slots.
At the back, the defense almost picks itself in the absence of the injured Alessandro Bastoni and Benjamin Pavard.
The manager will turn to Matteo Darmian, Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi who will play in front of Yann Sommer.
The source also expects Alexis Sanchez to rejoin his teammates in training on Friday. The Chile star returned late from international duty.

Moreover, Juan Cuadrado is still hellbent on making his return from injury against his former club.
The Colombian partially trained with the group yesterday. He’s hoping to make up some ground from a physical perspective and earn a call-up for Sunday’s clash.
The 35-year-old has been struggling with an inflammation in the Achilles tendon over the past two months or so.
