An exciting Milan derby awaits in Serie A on Sunday night as AC Milan and Inter Milan clash at San Siro. They are also the top two in the division, with Inter 10 points ahead of the Rossoneri.
Milan come into this off the back of winning 2-0 at Cremonese last time out, while Inter drew 0-0 at Como in the Coppa Italia. Nonetheless, we are expecting fireworks when these two enemies collide on the pitch.
