Who will play for Inter Miami?

That's a tough one. Inter Miami's busy preseason schedule has forced Tata Martino to make countless changes to his team to keep his team fit, meaning that it's been difficult to get a handle on his first-choice team. 

We're expecting to see a continuation of the 3-5-2 system that Martino has used for much of the preseason. Messi and Suarez will probably be involved in the forward line, with Julian Gressel likely to bring his industry to the wing-back role. 

We should have team news from DRV PNK Stadium very soon...

But despite that, it looks like he will feature from the start tonight...
