Surprisingly enough, Cristiano Ronaldo sits atop the scoring charts yet again. Lukaku sits four behind in second on 21, with Nwankwo in joint third with Luis Muriel. Could we see either one edge closer to the top of the goalscoring tree?
16:20
Junior Messias, the other midfield shuttler, has been a near mainstay in the Crotone lineup this term, only missing one of their 32 games this campaign. He's got eight goals and four assists this season, winning over half his duels in the process.
16:17
The standout names for the hosts are target man Simeon Nwankwo, with 19 goals to his name this term, Algerian playmaker Adam Ounas operating just behind him, feeding off the knockdowns, and deeper-lying Libyan Ahmed Benali, looking to orchestrate from the defensive third primarily, but with licence to roam forward when the opportunity arises.
16:12
Most likely a back five for the hosts. Understandable considering the quality of their opposition, and more so considering the inferiority of their own playing staff.
16:11
Crotone's lineup is in: Cordaz, Magallan, Golemic, Djidji, Molina, Messias, Cigarini, Benali, Reca, Nwankwo, Ounas.
16:10
The front two of Martinez and Lukaku are both without a goal in four appearances - in the last two Serie A seasons, only on two previous occasions have Inter gone four games without a goal for either player - they've never gone five.
16:08
With a win, Inter will move to 82 points - an unassailable lead at the top of the table, ahead of Atalanta in second with 68 points.
16:08
A 3-5-2 shape for the visitors, yet again - Antonio Conte has found a shape he is very happy with, and one that he will win the title with. Stefan de Vrij will command the centre of the defensive trio with Milan Skriniar and Bastoni flanking him, and Matteo Darmian keeps his place on the left of the midfield five at wing-back. Barella and Sensi flank the holding Marcelo Brozovic; the Croat tasked with building play from deep and picking the ball up from the central defenders. The strike partnership of big and small - Lukaku and Martinez - remains a constant threat.
16:04
While we wait for the hosts' lineup, let's dissect the league leaders'...
16:03
The Inter side is out: Handanovic, Skriniar, de Vrij, Bastoni, Hakimi, Barella, Brozovic, Sensi, Darmian, Lukaku, Martinez.
