The Milan rivals still hold the top two places in the table but Inter's 14-point gap, with six games remaining, means that a win at the San Siro will be enough to secure the Scudetto. The derby is also a massive game for Stefano Pioli, with the Milan manager under pressure and his future at the club in doubt. A win will not secure his job but another derby loss, and under these circumstances, certainly won't help his case.Inter are boosted by the return from suspension of striker Lautaro Martinez, top scorer in Serie A with 23 goals, but the Argentine has failed to find the net in his last four league games and will be keen to end his rare dry spell.
Defending champions Napoli will aim to keep their slim Champions League qualifying bid alive at Empoli on Saturday. Napoli are in eighth place, six points behind AS Roma in fifth, while Empoli are one point above the relegation zone.
