Milan and Inter meet for the 176th time in Serie A this weekend, in a match that will go a long way to deciding the victor of the 2010/11 Scudetto. Milan currently lead the way in Italy, with 62 points from 30 matches, two clear of rivals Inter.

Both teams are missing some key players through injury and suspension, however in front of a sell-out crowd at the San Siro, the Milan rivals are sure to put on a show.

Tottenham look forward to beating Milan
Tottenham registered a memorable 1-0 win away at the San Siro in the first leg of this tie, but have lost their way in the Premier League since then, looking unlikely to finish in the top 4 this season. Milan haven’t fared much better in terms of performances but they are top of the table and leading the title race against Inter.
But it’s not just about Champions League qualification – it’s about fulfilling your potential, pride and history – one club trying to make it, the other trying to revive it. Milan will have to considerably raise their game even if Tottenham are not at their best.
