Inter Milan
Inter Milan are one of the biggest clubs in Italy and came close to winning Serie A last season. I Nerazzurri also reached the final of the UEFA Champions League, but they lost heavily to Paris Saint-Germain.
Now under the management of Cristian Chivu, Inter have recovered after going through a bad spell. The Nerazzurri are at the top of the Serie A table at the moment with 64 points from 26 matches, 10 points ahead of second-placed and city-rivals AC Milan
Inter will head into the Serie A game against Genoa at San Siro on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Bodo/Glimt in front of their fans in the UEFA Champions League. It came after a 2-0 victory over Lecce away from home in Serie A, which followed a 3-1 loss to Bodo/Glimt on the road in the UEFA Champions League.

Inter Milan are likely to line up in a 3-5-2 formation against Genoa. Yann Sommer will be in goal for the Nerazzurri and will have Yann Bisseck, Manuel Akanji and Alessandro Bastoni in front of him in defence. Luis Henrique and Federico Dimarco will be the two wing-backs, with Davide Frattesi, Piotr Zielinski and Nicolo Barella deployed in midfield. Pio Esposito and Marcus Thuram will be the two centre-forwards.
Genoa
