Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Inter Milan's Serie A match with Parma at the San Siro.

Inter coach Claudio Ranieri doing plenty of pointing in these opening moments as Alvarez picks up at the back before rolling the ball back to his defence.

Inter have won the last five games at home with Parma, scoring always at least two goals.

Alvarez knocks a cross into the area, but the delivery is poor as Mirante comes out to collect with some ease.

Gobbi fails to outfox Maicon in the box as the Brazilian lets the ball run through for a goalkick to Inter.

Inter keeping the ball well in these early moments. Moving from side to side with some menace, but Parma hold firm to clear the danger.

Samuel attacks Alvarez's corner, but his header is straight down the throat of Mirante, who makes a comfortable stop.

Inter have won four games in a row; should they beat Parma, it would be the first time they win five consecutive league games since departure of José Mourinho (last time was between April and May 2010).

Pazzini with Inter's first shot at goal of the evening. Some fine build-up play before the striker sees his shot spin wide from the edge of the area.

Cesar off his line in the opening seconds to collect with Giovinco threatening in the home box.

Parma get us off and running at the San Siro. Parma in yellow, Inter in traditional blue and black.

Parma have a fully-fit squad, with the suspended striker Cristiano Lucarelli the only missing player.

Inter are still without Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder as he recovers from a nagging thigh injury. Striker Diego Forlan misses out with an ankle injury, while defenders Jonathan and Cristian Chivu are longer-term absentees.
