35'

Close! Ranocchia almost grabs a rare goal but can't direct his header on goal from an Inter corner. After a bright start, things are beginning to go pear shaped for Bologna.

34'

Bologna sub: Tomiyasu has picked up a knock and is replaced by De Silvestri.

31'

GOAL! Bologna 0-1 Inter Milan (Romelu Lukaku): The deadlock is broken! Young feeds Bastoni down the left flank and he delivers a delicious cross into the six-yard box. Lukaku's header is saved by Ravaglia, but it bounces off the post and the Belgian prods home for the easiest of finishes.

30'

Although Bologna have dominated possession in the opening half hour, they have yet to threaten Handanovic.

28'

Schouten makes an important challenge on Eriksen in midfield before winning a free-kick. Very tidy play.

26'

Eriksen is quickly closed down and is forced backwards after receiving the ball on the edge of the penalty area. Bologna have been very disciplined and well organised in defence so far.

23'

It has been a much more tentative affair than the chaotic derby between Torino and Juventus earlier. Plenty of time for that to change of course.

20'

Barella finds himself in acres of space to drive into. He switches it to Hakimi on the right, but his cross is blocked and Bologna recover the situation.

19'

The ball breaks kindly for Sansone in midfield and he opts for an early shot. It's the wrong decision as he blazes it way over the bar.

17'

Just wide! Inter win a free-kick, 30 yards out. Eriksen tries an ambitious effort and catches it quite well. But it drifts just wide of Ravaglia's far post. Good effort, that.

16'

Inter always pose a threat on the counter, though, and Tomiyasu is needed to make a headed clearance from Eriksen's teasing cross.

15'

But, so far, Inter are struggling to get out of their own half.

14'

This is a fantastic opportunity for Inter to take a real hold of the title race. AC Milan and Juventus both dropped points earlier today and a victory for Conte's men would take them eight points clear with a game still in hand over most of their rivals.

12'

Bologna have had the lion's share of possession in the early stages. Home manager Sinisa Mihajlovic will be delighted with what he has witnessed so far.

Olsen slips a pass into the feet of Soriano, who makes a late run into the box. He's forced wide and his cross into the middle evades everyone. But this is positive play from Bologna.

A first effort at goal from Lukaku who gets his shot away after a nice little link-up with Martinez. It's comfortable for Ravaglia, though.

More defending for Inter to do as Barrow drives down the left flank but his cross is too close to Handanovic.

Bologna have made a good start to the contest and they come into this game in good form having won their last two.

Ranocchia gives Barrow a little shove in the back and the Bologna forward goes down inside the penalty area. The referee has a clear view of the incident and allows play to continue. No penalty.

1st Half

Kick-off! We are underway in this contest, can Inter grab the victory that will move them eight points clear at the top of Serie A?
