Henrikh Mkhitaryan feels back to his best and is aiming to help inspire Inter to a ninth Supercoppa Italiana title ahead of their semi-final clash against Atalanta.

Mkhitaryan has started all 17 of Inter's Serie A matches this term, with Simeone Inzaghi's side sitting third in the table, a point behind leaders Atalanta with a game in hand.

The Armenian has notched one goal and a further three assists in the Italian top-flight this season, with three of those contributions coming in his last four Serie A games.

But up next for Inter is an enticing Supercoppa Italiana clash against Atalanta, who have been Serie A's standout performers so far this campaign.

Inter are unbeaten in their last 13 games in all competitions against Atalanta (W8 D5), but Mkhitaryan was wary of the threat Gian Piero Gasperini's side possess.

"Obviously, tomorrow's match will be very important. We know that Atalanta are playing very well," Mkhitaryan said.

"We will try to play at our best. It is very important for us to continue winning. We will do our best."

Inter are the current holders of the Supercoppa Italiana after they beat Napoli 1-0 in the competition's showpiece last season.

Inzaghi's side have also won the last three previous editions of the tournament, the longest such run since the Nerazzurri won five consecutive titles between 2006 and 2010.

Their latest trio of victories have all come in Riyadh, and Mkhitaryan believes that Inter have found a home away from home given their recent successes.

"We are here for the third time, we have lifted the trophy in the last two finals, and we hope to win this Super Cup as well," he added.

"Without a doubt, we are aware that Atalanta are very strong, but we hope that our fans will give us a hand to win."

Mkhitaryan also believes his own personal game has improved since the turn of the season, helped by being pushed by midfielder duo Davide Frattesi and Piotr Zielinski.

"At the beginning of the season I wasn't at my best, but now I'm back to my levels," Mkhitaryan said.

"The competition from Frattesi and Zielinski has helped me a lot. They push me to improve. We all want to play, but we are here to give our best to win.

"Whoever starts is committed and so do those who take over from the bench."
