AC Milan might not be capable of defending their Serie A title this season, given Napoli’s form and consistency, but they will be doing everything possible to ensure they secure a Champions League berth again.
Second place - along with third and fourth - are very much up for grabs in Italy’s top flight and five clubs are battling for those spots, including Inter Milan.
It’s Inter who are second right now, AC in sixth, but with only two points between the rivals it can all change every weekend at the moment - particularly as they meet in the derby on Sunday evening.
Injuries have hit both clubs this term but the San Siro crowd, for Inter’s home match this time around, will be demanding nothing less than victory to keep Napoli in sight.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the derby.

Inter Milan face AC Milan on Sunday 5 February, with kick-off at 7:45pm GMT.
