Possible lineups for Inter v Milan showdown

The Milan derby is just around the corner. Less than 10 hours to go until we know the first finalist of this season's Champions League. Inter Milan will host AC Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium on Tuesday and both teams will fight for a ticket to the final.

Inzaghi's side have a 2-0 aggregate lead and AC Milan will have to try to come from behind to book their ticket. Nonetheless, Italian coach Simone Inzaghi warned his players: "Do I think we are already in the final? Far from it. We haven't done anything yet. We have to keep a cool head and burning desire," he told reporters.

Elsewhere, Stefano Pioli spoke at the pre-showdown press conference about the condition of Rafael Leao, who missed the first leg: "He is doing better, like Messias and Krunic. If he takes part in the whole training session, he will play from the start," he said.

Inter Milan have won all of their last five matches - against Lazio, Hellas Verona, Roma, AC Milan and Sassuolo, while AC Milan have won just one of their last five games - against Lazio.

Clement Turpin will referee the clash and Jerome Brisard will be the VAR. They will be accompanied by Nicolas Danos (assistant referee), Benjamin Pages (assistant referee) and Stephanie Frappart (fourth official).

Inter Milan possible lineup: Onana (GK); Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez and Dzeko.

AC Milan possible lineup: Maignan (GK); Calabria, Tomori, Thiaw, Hernandez; Tonali, Pobega; Diaz, Krunic, Saelemaekers; Giroud.
