LAST MEETING
November 14, 2010: Inter 0-1 Milan
Former Inter striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the difference in this Serie A encounter between the two teams as he scored a fifth minute penalty for Milan. The Sweden international striker was caught by Marco Materazzi inside the Nerazzurri penalty area and he himself blasted home the spot-kick. In what proved to be an entertaining match, Milan were reduced to 10 men on the hour mark as Ignazio Abate was sent off.

PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Milan: Abbiati; Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Antonini; Gattuso, Van Bommel, Seedorf; Boateng; Pato, Robinho
Inter: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Ranocchia, Cordoba, Zanetti; Thiago Motta, Cambiasso, Stankovic; Sneijder; Pazzini, Eto'o
Prediction
Milan defeated Inter in the reverse fixture earlier this season and will be looking to do a double over their city-rivals. However, on form Inter are the better side and although the form-book doesn’t decide a derby, the Nerazzurri could just nick this and regain pole position in the table.
AC Milan 1-2 Inter Milan
