Inter team news
Inter remain without departing centre-back Milan Skriniar, whose back injury likely means he has played his final game for the Nerazzurri before his summer move to Paris Saint-Germain.
The big question is whether Edin Dzeko, who scored in the first leg, will retain his place in attack over Romelu Lukaku, who netted twice at the weekend in the 4-2 win over Sassuolo.
(3-5-2): Onana; Bastoni, Acerbi, Darmian; Dumfries, Calhanoglu, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro, Dzeko.
AC Milan team news
Midfielder Ismael Bennacer has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury last time out.
Rade Krunic and Junior Messias are also expected to miss out but there is cautious optimism about star forward Rafael Leao, who was back in full training on Sunday and is on track to return for this one.
(4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Kjaer, Theo; Tonali, Pobega; Saelemaekers, Diaz, Leao; Giroud.
Inter are just relentless right now and are overflowing with confidence. They’ve hit form at the perfect time.
As for Milan, they’ve been stumbling their way through the past few weeks as injuries to key players continue to hurt their chances of success, with Bennacer the latest damaging absentee. Rafa Leao may return but is unlikely to be at full strength.
A repeat of the scoreline from the first leg could well be on the cards.
Prediction: Inter 2-0 AC Milan
