Chilean duo Arturo Vidal and Alexis Sanchez are set to start for Inter in this evening’s Champions League round of sixteen second leg against Liverpool.

This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, who include the pair in their predicted starting eleven for the knockout clash.

Vidal started in midfield in the first leg of the tie, replacing the suspended Nicolo Barella, and he is expected to take his place from the start once again, with Barella continuing to serve his suspension.

Meanwhile, the Corriere predicts that Sanchez will take the place of Edin Dzeko in attack, with Inzaghi set to turn to the 33-year-old to start alongside Lautaro Martinez as the coach looks to shake his attacking approach up from the first leg.

The Corriere’s completed predicted eleven for the clash is as follows:

INTER (3-5-2): Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Vidal, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Perisic; Sanchez, Lautaro.
