Coach Cristian Chivu has chosen a 3‑5‑2 with Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram and Francesco Acerbi in the starting XI, marking their first appearances together since February. The lineup also features a back‑three of Akanji, Bastoni and Acerbi, while midfielders Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski and Dimarco provide stability. Mkhitaryan returns to the bench after injury.
Inter enter the match winless in their last three Serie A games, seeking to halt a run that began after a 2‑0 loss to Genoa. The Nerazzurri are six points clear of Napoli and seven ahead of Milan with eight games remaining.
