Inter return to San Siro at 18:00 with Cristian Chivu making his selections around a side led in attack by Marcus Thuram and Sebastiano Esposito. Parma arrive for Alberto Gilardino’s first match in charge, giving the evening an additional managerial thread beyond the points at stake.
The decision
Chivu has chosen Josep Martinez in goal, protected by a three-man defensive line of Yann Bisseck, Benjamin Pavard and Carlos Augusto.
Inter’s midfield includes Petar Sucic, Hakan Calhanoglu and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, while Andy Diouf and Federico Dimarco take the wide roles. Thuram partners Esposito at the front of the team.
Gilardino begins his Parma tenure with Edoardo Corvi between the posts. Enrico Delprato, Diego Carlos and Lautaro Troilo form the visitors’ back three.
Adrian Bernabe? No, Parma’s central midfield pairing is formed by Keita and Antoine Hainaut? The selected midfield players are Keita and Sierro, with Carboni and Valeri operating on the flanks. Elphege leads the line, supported by Giovanni Fabbian and Touré.
