With just two points seperating them the time has come again when the fashion capital of Italy, Milan will be divided into the Rosonerris (Ac Milan) and the Nerazurris(Inter Milan) as the San siro turf will be burning in the heat of the two local rivals also known as “The.

The Serie A table is also shaping up to be a close one as Inter can overtake Milan if they secure a win in tonights anticipated derby. From the start of the season the defending champions were looking a bit shaky. Under Rafa Benitez Inter were dropping points and at one point of a time they were outside the Champions League qualifying zone.

But kudos to Leonardo who turned the tide of the season and getting Inter Milan back into the hunt for the Scudetto with isnpiring performances from their key players like Wesley Sneijder, Samuel Eto. On the other hand the Rosonerris were looking strong from the start of the season.

Players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robinho were added to increase the attacking depth of the squad in the summer.

But after going strong in the league Milan have dropped unnecessary to help Inter get back into the title race even losing to Palermi 1 - 0 in their last match. In tonights derby Milan will be missing Ibrahimovic who is serving his final two match ban thus losing the chance to score against his former employers while players like Daniele Bonera, Marek Jankulovski, Massimo Ambrosini are all on the treatment table.

On the other hand the main concern for Inter will be their defence as Lucio is suspended, Chivu is a doubt, Walter samuel is injured and Ranochhia will play through the pain. The most stylish fixture and the greatest derby in the whole world surely has come at a right time when the title picture is looking exciting than ever. Keeping the sledgings apart Inter and Milan will be looking to earn the Bragging Rights with their football.
