A pair of midfield diamonds meet at the San Siro as Milan host Inter in a battle of second vs. fifth. Both teams could do with three points here but it's the defending champions who'll be pushing hardest for the win - victory today would see them overtake unbeaten Juventus for the top spot. If Milan are to get that win they want, they'll have to get a strong shift from their strikers. Inter have a good defence and are on a great run of form right now, so they're not going to be an easy nut to crack by any means.
