We're off! It's Juventus who get us underway.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of today’s Serie A game between Juventus and Inter at the Allianz Stadium.
14 games into the season and Juventus are yet to lose in Serie A, comfortably putting them at the top of the table and, even at this relatively early stage of the campaign, on course for an eighth consecutive title. They already sit eight points clear of nearest challengers Napoli and could extend their lead even further with a victory against their great rivals tonight.
The Derby d’Italia rarely fails to entertain, and tonight’s game promises to be a thoroughly exciting affair. Juventus have been ruthless in their efficiency but it hasn’t been entirely plain sailing for the reigning champions. Genoa held them to a frustrating 1-1 draw in October before Manchester United left Turin victorious in what is so far their only defeat in any competition this season.
Inter have enjoyed a decent opening few months themselves and currently sit third in the table, although they head to the Allianz Stadium with one victory from five games after a tricky period. That’s particularly been the case on the road, where they’ve only managed to beat Lazio since getting the better of struggling SPAL at the start of October.
It’s currently over six years since Inter last won away against Juventus, although they went close to doing so the last time the two sides met back in April. Two late goals resulted in the 10 men of the Nerazzurri losing by the narrowest of margins, meaning on only one occasion in the last six editions of the Derby d’Italia have they stopped their rivals from leaving with all three points.
There’s just over 15 minutes left to go until kick-off, so let’s have a look at how the two teams will be lining up this evening…
Juventus substitutes: Medhi Benatia, Douglas Costa, Juan Cuadrado, Carlo Pinsoglio, Mattia Perin, Emre Can, Daniele Rugani, Federico Bernardeschi, Leonardo Spinazzola.
Inter substitutes: Stefan de Vrij, Matias Vecino, Lautaro Martinez, Keita Balde, Andrea Ranocchia, Borja Valero, Daniele Padelli, Danilo D’Ambrosio, Antonio Candreva.
Inter XI (4-2-3-1): Samir Handanovic; Sime Vrsaljko, Milan Skriniar, Joao Miranda, Kwadwo Asamoah; Roberto Gagliardini, Marcelo Brozovic; Matteo Politano, Joao Mario, Ivan Perisic; Mauro Icardi.
Juventus XI (4-3-3): Wojciech Szczesny; Mattia De Sciglio, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini, Joao Cancelo; Rodrigo Bentancur, Miralem Pjanic, Blaise Matuidi; Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic, Cristiano Ronaldo.
The two sides are making their way out onto the pitch, with just a few minutes to go until kick-off.
It's been a fascinating Derby d'Italia clash, with the two teams evenly matched as things stand. Neither side has managed to enjoy lengthy spells on the front foot, with attacking dominance being shared. Inter went closest to scoring through Gagliardini, but the midfielder could only hit the post after beating Szczesny.
Inter have lived slightly dangerously at times, and their defending - particularly at set-pieces - will have left Spalletti frustrated. Luckily for the Nerazzurri, Juventus haven't been able to take advantage of that sloppiness, but they'll have to be at their best throughout the second half if they're to leave with a clean sheet.
Thanks for tuning into our live coverage today. Until next time, goodbye!
Inter battled hard and had Juventus on the ropes on a few occasions, but they struggled to assert themselves in the second half and seemed to tire as the game wore on. There wasn't much in it but the Nerazzurri didn't quite have enough firepower in their ranks to find a way through the league leaders' solid back line, no matter what they tried to do.
