"AC Milan beat Lecce on Sunday night, but attention has instantly turned to the big game of the weekend, away from home against Roma. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress) report this morning, Milan will face a tough six-pointer on Sunday evening against Gian Piero Gasperini's side. They are fourth in the table, four points behind Massimiliano Allegri's man, and will want revenge after the 1-0 loss at San Siro."
"It has not been uncommon to see five or more changes from one match to the next, to try and keep everyone fresh and sharp. In the match at the Stadio Olimpico this weekend, there could be more tinkering. Strahinja Pavlovic - who missed out in the last two matches after getting stitches in his head - should return to the starting line-up in defence, alongside Matteo Gabbia and Fikayo Tomori."
AC Milan beat Lecce but immediately focus shifts to a vital away match against Roma, a six-pointer against Gasperini's fourth-placed side. Rotation has been frequent during a congested schedule of five matches in 18 days, with Allegri making five or more changes between games to maintain freshness. Strahinja Pavlovic should return to defence after recovering from a head injury, joining Matteo Gabbia and Fikayo Tomori. Luka Modric is likely to start in midfield alongside Adrien Rabiot and a right-sided mezzala. The right flank is uncertain due to Alexis Saelemaekers' fitness, with Zachary Athekame or Ruben Loftus-Cheek possible alternatives, and a 4-3-3 remains a slim option.
