Didier Deschamps expects Inter Milan to perform much better than their recent form when they face his Marseille side on Wednesday.

Marseille coach Didier Deschamps is determined not to underestimate Inter Milan ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League encounter at the Stade Velodrome.

The former French captain watched from the stands as the Nerazzurri were soundly beaten 3-0 at home by Bologna on Friday.

The result was Inter's third loss in a row and it has led to calls for coach Claudio Ranieri to be sacked.

Deschamps fully expects Inter to improve and he is preparing his players for a much better performance from Ranieri's men.

He told L'Equipe: "I have seen their previous matches on television, and there have been lots of individual defensive mistakes.

"But I am convinced we will not see the same Inter as of their last four Serie A matches. They will not erase everything in four or five days, but collectively they will be better.

"The Champions League can bring the focus and determination they have missed."

Ahead of the game, Deschamps has an injury doubt over Alou Diarra, who returned to training on Tuesday after suffering a toe injury.
