Today’s game will be available to watch live in the UK on DAZN. Supporters in the USA are able to tune in through Paramount+.
The pressure is already on both teams going into Week 3, especially as there are Champions League openers coming up next week.
Juve maintained their 100 per cent record and haven’t conceded a goal yet in victories over Parma and Genoa.
Andrea Cambiaso continues his two-match ban for a reaction foul, while Francisco Conceicao picked up an injury on international duty, joining Fabio Miretti, Juan Cabal, Arek Milik and new signing Edon Zhegrova on the treatment table.
Jonathan David is rested, so Vlahovic gets his first start of the season, having scored in both games so far off the bench.
Yildiz provides the creativity with Koopmeiners, while Weston McKennie is preferred to Filip Kostic on the left flank.
Khephren Thuram faces off against big brother Marcus, with father Lilian in the stands.
Inter had started the campaign crushing Torino 5-0, but were then stunned 2-1 at home by Udinese, piling pressure on coach Cristian Chivu.
The first big change is in defence, where former Manchester City man Akanji is thrown straight into the starting XI for his debut after a deadline day transfer.
Lautaro Martinez starts despite returning late from international duty with Argentina, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan returns in midfield rather than Petar Sucic.
Carlos Augusto is also preferred to Federico Dimarco on the left.
