Inter Milan preview: A dilemma for Inzaghi
Given the level of the opposition, Simone Inzaghi will be very tempted to use this match as an opportunity to rest some of his key players with the second leg of their Champions League tie with Feyenoord coming up in a few days. On the flip side, he doesn't want to needlessly surrender control of the Serie A title race.
Predicted lineup: Sommer (GK), Bisseck, De Vrij, Pavard, Dumfries, Calhanoglu, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Augusto, Correa, Martinez

Monza preview: The end of a fairytale?
Monza's rapid rise through the Italian pyramid saw them promoted to Serie A for the first time in 2022. After two respectable mid-table finishes in their first season in the top flight, the club have nosedived this season and look all but certain to return to Serie B. That is, of course, provided they don't have one more miracle in them.
Predicted lineup: Turati (GK), D'Ambrosio, Izzo, Palacios, Pereira, Bianco, Zeroli, Kyriakopoulos, Ciurria, Balde, Ganvoula

Player to watch: Joaquin Correa
Experienced forward, Joaquin Correa, is expected to start up front alongside Lautaro Martinez on Saturday with Marcus Thuram set for a rest after only recently coming back from injury. Correa has just the one league goal to his name this season and in what could be his final few months as an Inter player, he will want to experience scoring at the San Siro at least one more time.
