Two clubs in opposite halves of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match Inter Milan and Cesena. The first-division clash scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET will be held at the San Siro in Milan and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on RAI Internazionale.
What They're Saying
Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini (via Football Italia): "Of course, we need to start that comeback by beating Cesena. The Europa League does create fatigue, above all for the travelling, but my players are young and can recover. I'll evaluate their fitness levels tomorrow."
Cesena manager Domenico Di Carlo (via Football Italia): "Inter are changing mentality under Roberto Mancini and can fight for the top places. Since I arrived, we've earned four points on our travels, but the objective is to always improve."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: The future of Lukas Podolski has come into question at Inter Milan. Since joining on loan from Arsenal, the 29-year-old has been less than stellar and is yet to open his club account. He'll look to do so at home on Sunday.
Inter Milan's Projected Lineup (4-4-2 Diamond): Handanovic; D'Ambrosio, Vidic, Ranocchia, Santon; Brozovic, Medel, Guarin, Shaqiri; Icardi, Podolski
Cesena's Projected Lineup (4-3-2-1): Leali; Magnusson, Krajnc, Capelli, Perico; Mudingayi, Feudis, Giorgi; Brienza, Defrel; Djuric
