Simone Inzaghi’s Inter are likely to face their most stern test yet as they host Atalanta at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Serie A on Saturday evening.
The Serie A champions have enjoyed a good start to life under their new boss and in the post-Antonio Conte era, but Gian Piero Gasperini’s La Dea could post more problems than the other domestic sides they’ve met so far.
Inter will be expecting to be playing catch-up with cross-city rivals AC Milan by the time they kick off on Saturday, with the Rossoneri playing earlier in the day at Spezia. As such, Inzaghi and his players will know what they need to do.
Inter: Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Perisic; Lautaro, Dzeko.
Atalanta: Musso; Toloi, Palomino, Djimsiti; Zappacosta, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Pessina, Malinovskyi; Zapata.
Atalanta, meanwhile, have started to find their feet this season after a shaky start. They beat Sassuolo last time out, with Marten de Roon’s return from suspension adding strength to their midfield.
