Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE commentary of Inter v Atalanta, which kicks off at the Giuseppe Meazza in Milan at 14:00 UK time!

Atalanta win the first corner of the game, but the delivery fails to entice a clear opportunity for the visitors.

Great work from the evergreen Zanetti who flies down the right, cuts inside a defender and gets to the by-line, from where he pulls the ball back... It's just behind three on-rushing team-mates though.

Inter pour forward and Maicon attempts to put in a cross from the right flank for Milito, but it's well over-cooked from the right-back.

Cambiasso shoots wide from the edge of the area as Inter push forward for the first time. Obi got to a long ball forward from Maicon and knocked it into Cambiasso's path, and the Argentine had a pop.

Atalanta put together the first attack of the game and Obi is forced to hack clear inside Inter's area.

KICK OFF... Atalanta get the game underway.

Edgy looking Ranier on the sidelines there... We're all set to go...

Five minutes from kick off, and the teams are ready and waiting to come out onto the pitch.

TEAMS... Atalanta: Consigli; Raimondi, Ferri, Manfredini, Bellini; Schelotto, Cigarini, Carmona, Moralez; Carrozza; Marilungo...

TEAMS... Inter: Julio Cesar; Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Nagatomo; Zanetti, Poli, Cambiasso, Obi; Pazzini, Milito...

Atalanta boss Stefano Colantuono: "We’ll be facing an Inter side that not long ago was considered among the best in the world and is now going through a difficult time. It is in these situations that they can react strongly. The Nerazzurri have been unlucky this season, but continue to have exceptional players."

Inter manager Claudio Ranieri spoke to the press on Saturday: "Going out of the Champions League is behind us now and it must remain behind us. We're looking forward. Although we got knocked out, we've now won two games in a row. That's an important step and it helps us maintain our determination and our desire to prove that even in a season like this we want to do well. The future is tomorrow and trying to beat Atalanta. We're not looking elsewhere, we're just concentrating on ourselves."
