Inter Milan vs AC Milan: Combined XI of the Derby della Madonnina

Right winger: Suso

Suso is coming of age for Milan this season

Touted to be one of Spain's brightest young talents, Suso is growing by leaps and bounds under the stewardship of Gennaro Gattuso. He's turned out to be the most offensive player from the team with two goals and six assists, the highest by a player in the league so far.

He's also laid the most through balls, completed most take-on, and averages 3.4 key passes per game. Suso has outshone Higuain to be the brightest player forward and would be vital in unlocking Inter's obdurate defense.

Central midfielder: Lucas Biglia

After Lazio, Biglia is now making a mark in Milan

Not a name to garner headlines everytime and a disastrous World Cup with Argentina behind him, Biglia has got to the challenges of the new season like a player determined to make a mark. And he certainly is: in 8 appearances, he's made 12 interceptions and won a mammoth 16 tackles to absolutely dominate the midfield battles, while he has also proved to be a great protective cover to the back four with his vision and vigilance. To add further, Biglia has also made 10 blocks so far. He would be the key in obstructing Inter from launching attacks.

Central midfielder: Marcelo Brozovic

Brozovic has been a battering ram for Inter

If Biglia has been great, Brozovic has been better. The Croat has been immense at the back, acting as a fifth man, but more impressive is his attacking influence, creating as many as 10 chances so far!

He also trumps Biglia with 20 tackles won in the same number of appearances, and also has a goal to his name. Brozovic also lays an average of 1.4 key passes per game, which is exactly twice as much as Biglia.

Left-winger: Ivan Perisic

Perisic has made a good start to the campaign

Perisic normally gets shrouded amid Icardi's barrage of goals, but the Croat remains as effective as ever. He is a versatile wideman and constantly flails between the flanks to make great attacking contributions.

His directness and a keen eye for goal make him equally dangerous and would be looking to add to his two goals and assists each that he's managed in eight appearances.
