ANOTHER CHANCE!
Juventus haven't started yet and Lautaro has an opening on the right side of the penalty area, but he scuffs it wide of goal. Inzaghi is fuming; Inter should perhaps be ahead already!

CHANCE!
De Vrij is left unmarked to meet the corner delivery but can't direct his header on target.
6'
INTER WIN A CORNER
Perisic is too strong and quick for Rugani as he brushes off his marker at the by-line. He delivers a cross into the Juventus penalty area but Alex Sandro heads it behind for a corner.
5'
FREE-KICK TO INTER!
Locatelli fouls Lautaro, a cheap free-kick to concede. It's in a shooting position for Calhanoglu but it's a dreadful attempt as he strikes it low and hits the wall.
2'
OVER!
Inter start on the front foot, working it to the flank where Perisic stands up a cross into the middle. Dzeko climbs highest but fails to hit the target with his header.

TOO CLOSE TO CALL
Inter may be favourites to claim the trophy tonight but Juventus are unbeaten in 11 of their last 12 meetings with their rivals, winning seven.
In this fixture of late, the Old Lady have usually found a way.

JUVE'S ATHUR MELO HEADING FOR EXIT
Would this be a good move for Arsenal? Eurosport Italy's Carlo Filippo Vardelli talks us through the deal.

LAST TIME OUT: JUVE PULL OFF STUNNING COMEBACK
Juventus are in decent form, too, and are now unbeaten in seven after their stunning comeback victory over Roma at the weekend.
19:35
LAST TIME OUT: INTER EXTEND WINNING STREAK
Is there any stopping Inter tonight? The Supercoppa Italiana isn't at the top of their priority list but it's still a piece of silverware and they would love to get another one over their rivals.

DID YOU KNOW?
Tonight will be the 34th edition of the Italian Super Cup, and a 10th appearance in a row for Juventus, their 17th overall. With nine successes so far, no club has won the trophy as often as the Bianconeri. In the three previous editions held in January, Juventus have lifted the trophy in each of those new year encounters (1996, 2019 and 2021).

NO FAVOURITES TONIGHT, SAYS INTER BOSS SIMONE INZAGHI
“We’ll need an aggressive and determined performance. We are aware that there will be moments where Juve will create trouble for us.
“In August, they seemed the favourite for the Scudetto, with Inter and other clubs in the race. But the pitch counts. Now we are on top, but the race will be open until the end.
"It's a final and there are no favourites in these games. Juventus are unbeaten in the last eight matches and they made something extraordinary on Sunday.
“They are accustomed to playing finals, they have experienced players, but we are in a good moment."

DEPLETED JUVE UP AGAINST IT
Add Aaron Ramsey and Juan Cuadrado to the unavailable list and Max Allegri is staring at a depleted squad.
Inter are at full strength and come into this game on the back of eight victories in a row, some 11 points ahead of the Old Lady in the Serie A table.
19:15
KULUSEVSKI STARTS FOR JUVENTUS, DYBALA ON BENCH
With Federico Chiesa ruled out for the rest of the season with an ACL tear sustained in the win over Roma, Dejan Kulusevski steps in to fill the void. Alvaro Morata is restored to the team at the expense of Moise Kean, who drops to the bench alongside Paulo Dybala. Daniele Rugani features at centre-back as Matthijs de Ligt misses out through suspension. Mattia Perin takes the place of Wojciech Szczesny in goal.
19:10
CALHANOGLU RETURNS
Hakan Calhanoglu returns to Inter's XI after missing the win over Lazio with suspension as Roberto Gagliardini drops to the bench. Edin Dzeko keeps his place after a recent spell in isolation and partners Lautaro Martinez in attack.
