Inter, towards the Milan derby: midfield choices

Chivu may revert to the Barella-Calhanoglu-Mkhitaryan midfield that delivered six consecutive wins under Inzaghi.

Inter prepare for the Milan derby with potential tactical changes in midfield. Manager Chivu is considering reviving the three-man midfield of Barella, Calhanoglu and Mkhitaryan—the same combination that produced six consecutive victories during Simone Inzaghi's tenure as coach. Inter have lost their last five derby matches and will look to turn their fortunes around with this familiar setup.
