All attention is now on Sunday night’s derby between AC Milan and defending champions Inter at San Siro, and some team news has emerged.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), Stefano Pioli should make some changes to the starting line-up that faced Porto on Wednesday night for the game against his former club. Ciprian Tatarusanu will be the man in goal, with a back four of Davide Calabria, Simon Kjaer, Fikayo Tomori and Pierre Kalulu predicted.
Sandro Tonali and Franck Kessie are predicted to be the double pivot in front of the back four with Alexis Saelemaekers, Brahim Diaz and Rafael Leao the attacking trident behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who should take his spot back from Olivier Giroud up front.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Tatarusanu; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Kalulu; Tonali, Kessie; Saelemakers, Diaz, Leao; Ibrahimovic.
Probable Inter XI (3-5-2): Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Perisic; Dzeko, Lautaro.

Kalulu Is not a left-back pioli should not try this gamble in a big game like inter.
Bring in kakerz, this guy play like hernandez full of confidence and defend better than hernandez.
There’re no other options available. It’s either Kalulu or Balo-Touré because Theo is suspended. I prefer Kalulu over Balo-Touré.
Are you okay? Kalulu at LB over Balo-Toure? Please, Balo-Toure is better. But he is still injured from the stamp in the Bologna game.
Throwing Kerkez on for such a crucial match may not be smart though. I’ll prefer Kalulu stays at RB while Calabria switches to LB.
Whatever Pioli comes up with, all I’m interested is e points and Intermerda walloped in the Derby.
Forza Milan !!!
