Inter Milan will face Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium this Saturday afternoon.
The Nerazzurri aim to extend their lead over AC Milan, who are just three points behind.
Under Cristian Chivu’s management, Inter is currently at the top of the league. They have won seven out of their last eight Serie A matches, with the only draw being a 2-2 result against Napoli on January 12.
With 46 points from 20 games, they are in a strong position. After the draw with Napoli, Inter secured a 1-0 win against Lecce in their latest match.
Inter Milan team news
Chivu has some lineup challenges ahead of this match. Hakan Calhanoglu is doubtful due to a calf injury from the Napoli game, while Josep Martinez and Denzel Dumfries are unavailable because of ankle injuries. Tomas Palacios may also miss out due to fitness concerns.
Despite these issues, Inter’s attack remains strong, led by captain Lautaro Martinez, who has scored ten league goals this season, although he hasn’t scored in his last three Serie A matches.
With a busy schedule ahead, Chivu might consider rotating his players before next week’s Champions League match against Arsenal.
Inter Milan predicted lineup
Possible Inter Milan starting XI: Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Henrique, Barella, Zielinski, Sucic, Dimarco; Martinez, Esposito.
When will the match kick off?
The match is set to begin at 2pm BST on Saturday, January 17.
