We're underway as Milan kick us off. They are in their traditional red and black strip, while rivals Inter are in blue and black.
Hello and welcome to tonight's live coverage of the Milan derby between Inter and AC Milan in the Serie A. The San Siro will be a sea of red, black and blue tonight as these two arch rivals do battle for the first time this season.
Although eight places separate these two teams in the table, both of them come into the contest in good form. Luciano Spalletti’s Inter have won their last six games in all competitions, while Gennaro Gattuso’s troops are unbeaten in their last eight matches.
INTER XI (4-2-3-1): Samir Handanovic; Sime Vrsaljko, Stefan de Vrij, Milan Skriniar, Kwadwo Asamoah; Marcelo Brozovic, Matías Vecino; Matteo Politano, Radja Nainggolan, Ivan Perisic; Mauro Icardi (c).
INTER subs: Lautaro Martinez, Daniele Padelli, Keita, Joao Mario, Roberto Gagliardini, Antonio Candreva, Miranda, Andrea Ranocchia, Danilo D'Ambrosio, Dalbert, Borja Valero.
MILAN XI (4-3-3): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Davide Calabria, Mateo Musacchio, Alessio Romagnoli (c), Ricardo Rodriguez; Franck Kessie, Lucas Biglia, Giacomo Bonaventura; Suso, Gonzalo Higuain, Hakan Calhanoglu.
MILAN subs: Antonio Donnarumma, Tiemoue Bakayoko, Samu Castillejo, Cristian Zapata, Jose Reina, Diego Laxalt, Ignazio Abate, Patrick Cutrone, Mattia Caldara, Fabio Borini, Jose Mauri, Andrea Bertolacci.
We are minutes away from kick off as both sides enter the field of play at the San Siro.
The referee brings the first half to a close and it is somehow still goalless. Both teams have had a goal disallowed for offisde as well as a number of chances to open the scoring. Inter have looked sharp in defence but Milan are certaintly leaving their mark on the home side with three yellow cards already.
Milan need to bring Higuain into the game more if they want to improve their chances of scoring but Inter are doing a good job of keeping him quiet. Inter are just letting themselves down in the final third but an entertaining second half is expected.
Inter will now look towards the top of the table as they try to keep pace with league-leaders Juventus but Milan will go back to the drawing board. Gattuso's side are already 13 points off the top and they have plenty of work to do in the attacking department.
That is all for tonight folks and thanks once again for joining us. Goodbye!
