Juventus will look to go 11 points clear at the top of Serie A when they face Inter Milan in the Derby d’Italia.

Massimiliano Allegri’s side boast an near perfect record at home in the league this season, with their draw against Genoa proving to be the only time they have dropped points at the Allianz Stadium.

Luciano Spalletti’s side meanwhile lie in third, 11 points behind their great rivals, but they pushed them all the way in this fixture last season, with Juventus needing two goals in the final three minutes to seal victory.

What time does it start?

Juventus vs Inter Milan kicks off at 7:30pm (GMT)

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on Eleven Sports 1 from 7:20pm. Highlights will be shown at 10pm on Eleven Sports 2.

Player to watch

Cristiano Ronaldo: The Portuguese made it 10 goals from 14 Serie A appearances last weekend with a well-taken penalty away at Fiorentina. His creativity has proved to be vital to Allegri as well, recording five league assists and just last week in Florence he created three chances in the first half. The Derby d’Italia has seen many great players over the years, and now it is Ronaldo’s turn to make his mark.

As far as 0-0 scorelines go this has been an interesting first 45 minutes. Inter have had their fair share of the ball as well as the best chance of the half courtesy of Gagliardini but when Juve got on top they looked supremely threatening and Inter did well to keep them at bay.
