The San Siro plays host to one of the most iconic derbies in world football on Monday night as cross-city rivals AC Milan and Inter Milan lock horns, with the Serie A title on the line.

Fittingly, these two sides sit in the leading two positions in the Serie A table, although in truth the Scudetto title is almost certainly heading to the blue side of Milan with Inter 14 points clear of their opponents with just six games to play.

Team news

AC Milan will be without Malick Thiaw after the central defender picked up a booking against Sassuolo last weekend, and he will join Simon Kjaer, Pierre Kalulu and Antonio Mirante on the sidelines, all of whom are ruled out through injury.

Inter Milan have a fully fit squad to choose from, with Benjamin Pavard and star-striker Lautaro Martinez expected to return to the starting line-up after being suspended last weekend.

Prediction

It has been a horrendous couple of weeks for fans of AC Milan, and things could be about to get even worse for them as they face arch-rivals Inter Milan on Monday evening.

The Rossoneri were knocked out of Europe after losing both legs of their Europa League quarter-final against fellow Serie A side Roma, with a draw to Sassuolo making up the filling in a very disappointing sandwich.

The result is that Inter Milan, who sit 14 points clear with six games to play, will seal the Serie A title in the sweetest way imaginable if they beat AC Milan on Monday.

Victory for the Nerazzurri looks likely, too. They are unbeaten in 26 Serie A games and have won 21 of those, while their recent record in the Derby della Madonnina is fantastic.

The reverse fixture in September ended in a 5-1 thrashing by Inter and that was their fifth successive Milan derby victory, so back them to clinch the Scudetto on Monday night.
