Inter Milan Coach Certain Of His Starting XI For Top-Of-Table Serie A Clash Vs Napoli

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi has no doubts about his starting eleven for this evening’s Serie A clash with Napoli.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that Francesco Acerbi and Denzel Dumfries will start this evening’s top of the table showdown.

This evening, the teams second and first in the Serie A table will go head to head at the San Siro.

Inter go into this evening’s match just a single point behind Napoli.

Therefore, there is no doubt about the significance of the match. There is the feel of a potential title-decider even at this early stage of the season.

Therefore, it is hardly surprising that both coaches will be aiming to name as strong a starting lineup as possible.

In the case of Napoli coach Antonio Conte, the 55-year-old hasn’t had any European football to think about.

On the other hand, Inter coach Inzaghi has had to juggle Serie A and the Champions League.

Inter played with some notable squad rotation against Arsenal in midweek. That didn’t stop them from getting three huge points though.

Inzaghi Certain Of Inter Starting XI To Face Napoli

Against Napoli, a number of big names will undoubtedly return to the Inter starting eleven.

Among these will be Federico Dimarco, Alessandro Bastoni, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Nicolo Barella, and Marcus Thuram.

And in the centre of defense, Inzaghi will go with Francesco Acerbi.

Acerbi has been out for a few weeks with a thigh injury he sustained in a match against Roma last month.

But Inzaghi is ready to give the 36-year-old the nod this evening.

On the right flank, meanwhile, Sky reports that Denzel Dumfries will keep his place. The Dutchman is set to get the nod over former Manchester United and Parma veteran Matteo Darmian.

Sky’s complete predicted Inter starting eleven for the match is as follows:

Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Lautaro Martinez. All. Inzaghi
