AC Milan’s draw adds extra meaning to Inter Milan vs Napoli

With the Rossoneri held in Florence, San Siro hosts a decisive clash at the top of the table

AC Milan’s draw away to Fiorentina adds even more significance to tonight’s big match at San Siro between Inter Milan and Napoli.

A win would allow the Nerazzurri to stretch their lead at the top of the table and send a powerful message to the rest of the league. The stakes could hardly be higher.

Chivu goes all in with his strongest XI

Chivu is set to field his best possible lineup. In defence, there is a slim hope that Acerbi could recover in time, but Akanji is the clear favourite to start centrally, flanked by Bisseck and Bastoni.

In midfield, alongside Barella and Calhanoglu, Zielinski is expected to start, confirming the coach’s trust in the Polish midfielder for such a high-profile encounter.

Up front, there are no surprises: Lautaro Martinez and Thuram will lead the line, tasked with breaking down Napoli’s defence and capitalising on the opportunity created by Milan’s slip.
