Hello and welcome to our second LIVE text commentary from Serie A where Inter Milan welcome Chievo to the San Siro.

Inter build well until Maicon finds Zarate on the edge, who draws a save from Sorrentino. He didn't really get hold of that how he would have liked. First half chance.

Neither side winning the midfield war of attrition.

Quite a turgid half thus far.

Chievo looking very much the side that have only conceded one in their last four.

Vacek wins a corner from Nagatomo and the visitors have their first opportunity to test the home defence but Inter defend it well. Goal kick.

Paazzini latches on to a superb Sneijder through ball but his effort is deflected wide for a corner. Poor delivery and the visitors break.

The visitors look to make some in-roads in the Inter defence but the run is miss-timed.

Inter continue to look neat but lack that killer ball in the final third.

A very composed start from the visiting side here; while Inter appear happy to drop off and allow space.

Early shout for a penalty from Inter. Waved away.

A lot slower start to this one than the game involving the other Milan team today.

A neat exchange of early passing break downs with a stray one from Sneijder.

Inter get the game underway.

We're moments away from kick-off.

Starting line-ups. Inter: Júlio César, Maicon, Lúcio, C. Chivu, Y. Nagatomo, E. Cambiasso, J. Zanetti, T. Motta, W. Sneijder, G. Pazzini, M. Zárate. /// Chievo: S. Sorrentino, N. Frey, S. Morero, B. Cesar, B. Jokic , M. Bradley, K. Vacek, P. Hetemaj, P. Cruzado, A. Paloschi, S. Pellissier. Subs as below.

The men from Verona travel to the San Siro on the back of last weekend's goalless draw against Serie A leaders Juventus, which saw the Gialloblu up to seventh and five points clear of Inter.

Much of the home side’s problems have come at the back where they have shipped 13 goals so far, while Chievo have conceded just once in their last four league games.

Inter’s renaissance under Claudio Ranieri has been short lived as defeats to Napoli and Catania left the Nerazzurri only two points clear of bottom club Cesena coming into this weekend’s round of fixtures.
