Juventus and Inter renew their never ending rivalry when they go toe to toe at 20.45 CET at the Allianz Stadium for what is one of the most highly anticipated Derby d’Italia clashes in years.

The unbeaten Nerazzurri go into the contest looking down on their historic foes in the standings as league leaders and are out to stretch their two point lead over the Bianconeri.

Inter welcome back Miranda in defence after the Brazilian missed out versus Chievo through suspension while Vecino also returns to the starting line-up following a thigh injury.

The hosts meanwhile are again without skipper Gigi Buffon so Szczesny continues to deputise in between the sticks for the champions who go into the game sitting third.

At the other end, and with Dybala starting from the bench, Mandzukic and Cuadrado are tasked with providing the ammunition to star striker Gonzalo Higuain.

El Pipita has rediscovered his scoring touch lately with six goals in his past five outings and the battle with fellow Argentine and capocannoniere Mauro Icardi promises to be a fascinating one.

JUVENTUS: Szczesny; De Sciglio, Benatia, Chiellini, Asamoah; Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi; Cuadrado, Mandzukic; Higuain.

INTER: Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Skriniar, Miranda, Santon; Vecino, Borja Valero; Candreva, Brozovic, Perisic; Icardi.
