Serie A official line-ups: Inter vs. Parma
Inter need just one point to celebrate the Scudetto tonight against Mateo Pellegrino’s Parma, so Francesco Pio Esposito, Marcus Thuram and Alessandro Bastoni start.
It kicks off at San Siro at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).
You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens on the Liveblog.
Napoli were held to a 0-0 draw by Como yesterday, so that means a single point here would suffice to put Inter beyond reach at the top of the table.
The champagne is on ice, with Lautaro Martinez back on the bench after his latest injury setback, but Hakan Calhanoglu and Luis Henrique are in the stands after muscular problems.
Esposito therefore partners Thuram upfront, with Petar Sucic preferred to Henrikh Mkhitaryan in midfield.
Bastoni returns in defence three weeks after his last start, having struggled with a recurring ankle issue.
Parma have already locked down their Serie A safety thanks to a victory over Pisa, and are therefore also in celebratory mood at San Siro.
Matija Frigan and Benja Cremaschi are out of action, but Pellegrino leads the attack with Gabriel Strefezza, as super-sub Nesta Elphege waits for his opportunity.
Many of these players worked with Cristian Chivu last season, but it is a remarkable achievement for the coach to win the Scudetto in his first full top flight campaign.
