The first Milan derby of the season takes place on Saturday, 31 October and it will be live on BBC Two.
The match at the San Siro stadium kicks off at 19:45 GMT as AC Milan look to close the gap on leaders Inter, who top Serie A with 22 points, four ahead of their city rivals.
The Derby della Madonnina is one of the biggest fixtures in Italian football.
Milan, managed by former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim, are facing an injury crisis for the game with up to eight players missing.
Unbeaten records at risk
An unbeaten record could go in the match with both sides yet to taste defeat in the league.
Inter have won seven of their eight games so far, drawing the other one, while Milan have five wins and three draws.
Inter may be the team to beat in Serie A so far this season but Milan have the edge in the derby, having won the last three.
In fact, AC Milan are unbeaten in seven consecutive derbies against Inter in all competitions for the first time since the period between November 2002 and April 2005 (10).
