Line-ups for the derby:

Milan: G Donnarumma; Calabria, Kjaer, Romagnoli, Theo Hernandez; Tonali, Kessie; Saelemaekers, Calhanoglu, Rebic; Ibrahimovic

Inter: Handanovic; Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni; Hakimi, Barella, Brozovic, Eriksen, Perisic; Lautaro Martinez, Lukaku

Not sure what I expect from it, Inter are in the better form but it's a derby and if they win Milan will go back top so they should be really up for it. Hopefully it's a good game anyway.

This is going to be some game

Great start for Inter

Now they can sit back and do the counter they are great at.

Can Hakimi make half time?

Headshot

Wow Inter are really up for this

ShamoBuc

Magnificent moveby Inter, all the way from the keeper.

Headshot

Milan still look dangerous here so the 2nd half could be something special (hopefully)

breezy1985

Took Milan a fair while to to get any sort of chance and Inters set up really upset them for the first half hour

dor83

Can see Milan getting a goal or two in the 2nd half, be typical Inter to lose it from here after having good chances in the 1st half.

Milan come out with the guns blazing

What a save by Handanović

wonski

Some saves.

Great start of second half.

That was an amazing run of saves

2-0 that should be that

Podge2k7

Get in!

Lukaku goal.

KO

ShamoBuc

Delighted for him.

Podge2k7

Incredible from Lukaku. Game over.

Some goal by lukaku.

Keeper beaten at his nearest post, should he have done a bit better or just a savage finish?

I think that near post thing is a bit of a myth. I never found them easier than far post shots where you have time to judge the ball as it's coming across your body

All 3 goals were cracking for different reasons

breezy1985

Lukaku, Lautaro, Brozovic and Handanovic were all excellent.

Those saves at 1-0 were the big moment of the game. Outside of the goals obviously

Headshot

Looks like Gattuso is hanging on by a thread as Napoli manager

Really poor judgment to bring on defenders during a set piece which resulted in an Atlanta Goal

breezy1985

Gonna be a crazy battle for top 4. Milan really need to get it together and beat Roma or they won't be long being more worried about 5th than 1st

Might be ready for move to big club

Mr.Nice Guy

Pleased for Lukaku and Conte. Handanovic with some heroic saves too.

I'd like Inter to clinch the title but I suspect there will be a few twists along the way yet.

That's really a poor poor result for Roma

10mins to play and it's 2-2

Parma for the life of them cannot hold onto leads

Go wan Verona

Get in

irishguitarlad

Atalanta about to go level on points with Juve.

Mr.Nice Guy

Great chance for Inter to keep the pressure on the chasing pack. Need to beat Genoa. Milan going to Roma could be a tricky one later.

Well that was quick lol

Mr.Nice Guy

Pleased to see Inter do their bit. That Roma/Milan game later has a lot riding on it.

Great match in Rome at the moment

Ac Milan score a peno and are 1 up and deserved really

Yeah it has been a cracking game, Milan have been the better team alright but Roma have had a couple of good chances too, should be more goals in the 2nd half.

breezy1985

Milan lost Ibra, Rebic and maybe Hakan to injury

breezy1985

Wow that was tense

kksaints

Very enjoyable match betwen Roma and Milan. Roma's record against the other teams in the top six is fairly woeful this season.

Mr.Nice Guy

That's a fine result for Milan. Thought they could have dropped points in that one.

Just watched the highlights of the Inter game and the way Lukaku dominated Genoa was awesome.

Important win for Cagliari in the relegation scrap. Very surprised they're in their current position with the talent in their side.

Lazio v Torino game postponed Lazio turned up but apparently Torino were not allowed to travel by their Local Health Authority.
This could get even more confusing as Torino had their game on Friday called off for similar reasons and that could cause an issue with tonight's.
All a bit confusing really.

The teams self isolation ends tonight so I don't see why the game could not be moved. Either Lazio or FIGC is acting the muppet

ShamoBuc

Considering it was known they were playing on Tuesday night, it should never have been last minute.com though.

ShamoBuc

Penalties galore in the late drama in Napoli game.

breezy1985

Udinese looking more than happy to go home with a 0-0 draw tonight. Still no goals at the San Siro and barely a real chance of one
