CONFIRMED lineups for Inter Milan v Como match

Inter Milan host Como at the San Siro on Monday night to conclude matchday 17 of Serie A. The 'Nerazzurri' are looking for a third consecutive win in all competitions after thumping league rivals Lazio 6-0 last week, which was followed by a 2-0 over Udinese in the Coppa Italia. 

Sitting in third place with 34 points, Simone Inzaghi's men need maximum points to keep within touching distance of second-placed Napoli (38) and Atalanta (40) at the top. That said, Inter can count on two games in hand heading into tonight's match as their clash against Fiorentina was suspended due to Edoardo Bove's collapse. 

On the other hand, Cecs Fabregas' Como are 16th with 15 points. Although clearly underdogs, the visitors will be feeling their chances to claim a shock win against the reigning Italian champions after defeating Roma 2-0 last week. Having also beaten current league-leaders Atalanta earlier in the season, Como can represent a tough challenge for Inter.

The hosts have Nicolo Barella back in the starting lineup after suffering an injury against Lazio. The midfielder was initially in doubt to feature but has now recovered from the setback. Pavard, Darmian, Di Gennaro and Acerbi continue their periods on the sidelines with injuries. As for Como, Moreno, Perrone, Sala and Gabrielloni are the absentees.
