Milan are undefeated in the last six derbies, winning four, and Sunday’s meeting at the San Siro feels like a must-win match for the second-placed side with Inter 10 points clear at the top.

At the start of January, three teams were battling for the Scudetto. Inter held a one-point lead over Milan, with reigning champions Napoli a further point back, but only one side has maintained title-winning form.

Inter have dropped ⁠just two points in ⁠the last 15 games to pull further away at the top while Milan have let seven points slip away in their most recent six games.
