AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso says there'll be no underestimating Inter Milan today.

Inter go into the derby having been dumped out of the Europa League.

Gattuso said, “Over the last five days all I've heard is that Inter are dead and buried, but recent form doesn't exist in the derby. We need to respect our opponents, use our heads, show heart, intelligence and determination.

“The packed San Siro crowd must be our 12th man, but we respect Inter because they have champions in their squad and can cause us problems.

“We've got to escape their pressing game, as in October they never let us breathe by blocking our passing. It'll be the same thing tomorrow, so I want a different attitude and more courage.

“There is a lot at stake, but it's ultimately still only three points up for grabs. I am more worried by what could happen on a psychological level if things were to go badly. A win would give us a mental boost, but I'd need to work on the lads if we lost. It's an important stepping stone in our journey."
