Inter are looking to maintain their spectacular form despite massive squad rotation with the return of Hakan Calhanoglu, Mehdi Taremi and Lautaro Martinez against struggling RB Leipzig.

It starts at 8pm GMT in San Siro.

You can follow all the build-up and action of this game, Slovan Bratislava-Milan and Young Boys-Atalanta, in the live blog.

The Nerazzurri are one point off the top of Serie A and beat Verona 5-0 on Saturday, while they have won all their Champions League games except the opening 0-0 draw away at Manchester City.

Along with Atalanta, they have yet to concede a single goal in Europe this season, although the squad rotation continues today.

Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco return to the wings while Calhanoglu has overcome a setback from the national team.

Marcus Thuram is rested in attack this time, so Lautaro Martinez plays alongside Taremi.

The only player on the treatment table now is Francesco Acerbi.

RB Leipzig have had big problems this season, both at home and especially in the Champions League, where they lost all four games.

This also includes the team fumbling a lead and losing 3-2 on home soil to ten-man Juventus.

The Germans also have a long list of absences, including former Napoli midfielder Eljif Elmas, Yussuf Poulsen, Netherlands international Xavi Simons, El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Lukas Klostermann, Xaver Schlager and David Raum.

Nevertheless, there is a lot of talent in the squad, such as star strikers Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko, but former Milan striker Andre Silva starts instead of Sesko.
