The Gazzetta dello Sport report that one new face will be in the Inter starting eleven.

With Hakan Calhanoglu serving a one-match suspension, Petar Sucic will start in holding midfield.

However, the Gazzetta report, beyond that Chivu is planning to play it safe.

The 44-year-old will stick with the familiar 3-5-2 formation, despite reports that he is aiming to transition to a 3-4-2-1 shape.

Meanwhile, veterans like Francesco Acerbi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan will start the match.

The Gazzetta’s complete predicted starting eleven for Inter is as follows:

Inter Milan (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Sucic, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro.
