Juventus will look to go 11 points clear at the top of Serie A when they face Inter Milan in the Derby d’Italia.

Massimiliano Allegri’s side boast an near perfect record at home in the league this season, with their draw against Genoa proving to be the only time they have dropped points at the Allianz Stadium.

Luciano Spalletti’s side meanwhile lie in third, 11 points behind their great rivals, but they pushed them all the way in this fixture last season, with Juventus needing two goals in the final three minutes to seal victory.

What time does it start?

Juventus vs Inter Milan kicks off at 7:30pm (GMT)

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on Eleven Sports 1 from 7:20pm. Highlights will be shown at 10pm on Eleven Sports 2.

Player to watch

Cristiano Ronaldo: The Portuguese made it 10 goals from 14 Serie A appearances last weekend with a well-taken penalty away at Fiorentina. His creativity has proved to be vital to Allegri as well, recording five league assists and just last week in Florence he created three chances in the first half. The Derby d’Italia has seen many great players over the years, and now it is Ronaldo’s turn to make his mark.

For those not of you not up to date with the status of the Serie A, Juventus top the table with Inter Milan two places back in third.

11, yes 11, points separate the two teams as Juventus look to continue their unbeaten run.

A run which sees a solitary draw against Genoa in October the only time the side has dropped points this season.

As for Inter, they come into the game off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham in the Champions League and a 2-2 draw with Roma at the weekend. 

Not the best momentum to take into a match where your opponents hold a near perfect record in the league.

Inter almost upset Juve in their last meeting back in April but two goals in three minutes swung the game to the league leader, avoiding a repeat performance will be crucial for the visitors.

Since these sides last met there's been one major addition to Juventus' firepower: Cristiano Ronaldo.

However Inter boss Luciano Spalletti recognises that Ronaldo plays but one part in this excellent team.

"Juventus is not just Ronaldo," he explained. "There is also GC3, Giorgio Chiellini a phenomenal player. He is a player of a mentality and an important force. Juve have many like him. It is the collective that can save you.

"Being a team for 90 minutes can put Juventus in difficulty. Pressing for 90 minutes and removing the spaces can be the key."

Let's see if he's right, just under 30 minutes until kick off.

5 minutes until kick off, who's you money on?

Juve 0 - 0 Inter

Juve start the match and pump the ball long and out of play. Inter return the favour trying to pick out Perisic on the left wing but the Croatian striker is ruled offside.
