Inter take on Bologna at San Siro this evening and Simone Inzaghi will be looking to Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez in attack.
It kicks off at 20:45 GMT (19:45 CET) at San Siro.
Thuram starts for the first time in three games after sustaining a slight muscle injury in the Supercoppa semifinal against Atalanta at the start of January.

Inzaghi is short of options in the middle of the park as Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Hakan Calhanoglu are injured. This means Kristjan Asllani, Nicolò Barella and Piotr Zielinski will start again in the middle of the park, leaving Davide Frattesi on the bench.
Bologna will look to Santiago Castro in attack, while Dan Ndoye is favourite over Riccardo Orsolini. Scotland international Lewis Ferguson is expected to get the nod in the middle of the park, joining Remo Freuler.
Jhon Lucumì is suspended, and Oussama El Azzouzi, Nicolò Cambiaghi and Michel Aebischer are injured.
The match will be shown live on OneFootball in the UK and Paramount+ in the USA. DAZN will broadcast the game live in Italy. Football Italia will be among the accredited media and will follow the match with a dedicated live blog.
