It will be a heated Derby della Madonnina on Sunday as Milan host Inter for the most awaited clash of the season. It was an intense week for the side coached by Sergio Conceicao as the Italian giants have decided to replace their main striker as Alvaro Morata is set to join Galatasaray while AC Milan are landing Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord, but he won’t be able to play on Sunday. Inter, on the other hand, need to win to close the gap with Napoli. Inter meet AC Milan one month after losing the Supercoppa Italiana final in Saudi Arabia when the late goal scored by Tammy Abraham gave Conceicao his first trophy at the club.
