Juventus coach Allegri: Inter Milan are clear favourites

Juventus coach Max Allegri insists Inter Milan are the favourites for Sunday's Derby d'Itala.

Juve will host Inter in Turin.

But Allegri says: “It's an important game for us and it's part of our journey to develop. It will be nice to play this match. We meet the favourites to win the title. They have said it too and it's no news.

“It is not decisive even if, psycologically, it's important for us. I am happy with my team. We know we face a strong side, probably readier than us. It is more simple than what it seems, they are readier, but it will still be an important game."

Allegri also said: “Alex Sandro is back, Danilo will return before the Monza game. We'll assess Weah. Locatelli has trained over the last three days. Tomorrow, I will decide if he will start or go on the bench.

“We have Nicolussi. Cambiaso and Iling Jr can play in central midfield and I don't think it would be good to change system after 12 games," continued the Old Lady's boss.

“We can do it during the game, but we have no problems in the middle. Everyone is quite fit in attack, we need a good performance from those starting and those who will be introduced as substitutes."
