Francesco Pio Esposito and Marcus Thuram will spearhead the attack in Inter Milan’s home clash against Venezia later today.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, Luis Henrique will retain his place on the right wing despite his awful performance at Pisa.

Cristian Chivu’s side will take on the second-tier outfit in tonight’s last-16 showdown at San Siro.

Furthermore, the 20-time Italian champions are massive favorites to secure a quarter-final berth.

Therefore, Chivu can afford to experiment with his starting lineup, with Josep Martinez set to start in goal.

With Pio Esposito and Thuram set to join forces in attack, Lautaro Martinez will get a much-needed rest.

Meanwhile, Andy Diouf is likely to make his first-ever start for the Nerazzurri after a promising performance against Spezia.

In addition to the French midfielder, Davide Frattesi and Piotr Zielinski are expected to dislodge Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu.

Moreover, Chivu is ready to hand teenage fullback Matteo Cocchi his maiden senior start for the club.
