Clarence Seedorf is convinced AC Milan go into Sunday's derby against Inter brimming with confidence.

"At the moment the Nerazzurri look very strong," Seedorf admitted on the Milan Channel. "They just have to stay in control and not take any great risks. We know that we will be up against a team who know exactly what they want.

"Inter can manage without Zlatan Ibrahimovic and they have been winning in his absence. They have five good strikers who can make the difference.

"But we are on good form and we just have to take nine points out of nine and see how Fiorentina do.

"The derby has come at a good time. The important thing is that we are calm and go about our work with belief and without constantly thinking about the game.

"We have to prepare just as we have over the last few weeks for the other matches."
