Former AC Milan midfielder Antonio Nocerino says there's no favourites for tonight's derby against Inter Milan.
The two teams meet with Inter clear at the top of the Serie A table.
Nocerino told Calciomercato.com: “In the derby there are no favourites. It's not a cliche, I assure you. Between Milan and Inter there is no weaker team, I have played a few derbies. Only with the Torino shirt did I start as an underdog against Juve.
“It must be a stimulus for whoever takes their place. The great cycles also begin with overcoming these types of difficulties.
“Let's start from the assumption that Inter are still the strongest team and Milan have the handicap of so many absences. A victory for the Nerazzurri would give enthusiasm and conviction to Inzaghi's team, which remains the great favourite for the final victory.
“Very often we focus only on the starting eleven, but in this football of the five substitutions it's good to underline the importance of who is called to replace them. In a match like this you have to prepare the whole squad to the maximum.
“Even those who know they are not starting must be ready because two minutes are enough to change everything. In this you can also see the coach's hand, who has to make the right choice."
