"It starts with a three-man defence of Fikayo Tomori (back from suspension), Matteo Gabbia and Koni De Winter (in for the injured Strahinja Pavlovic) in front of Mike Maignan. The midfield line will contain Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi as the wing-backs, with Youssouf Fofana and Adrien Rabiot either side of Luka Modric in the midfield three. Christopher Nkunku and Rafael Leao will lead the line, with Christian Pulisic dropping to the bench (but still has a 30% chance of starting as per the paper)."
"Predicted Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Tomori; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Pulisic, Leao. Predicted Milan bench: Terracciano, Torriani, Athekame, Dutu, Odogu, Pavlovic, Estupinan, Loftus-Cheek, Jashari, Ricci, Nkunku. Predicted Como XI (4-2-3-1): Butez; Smolcic, Kempf, Diego Carlos, Valle; Perrone, Da Cunha; Vojvoda, Paz, Rodriguez; Douvikas. Predicted Como bench: Vigorito, Cavlina, Ramon, Dossena, Moreno, Caqueret, Roberto, Baturina, Posch, Van der Brempt, Cerri, Kuhn, Le Borgne."
Inter moved six points clear after scraping past Lecce, creating a risk of a significant gap opening at the top of Serie A. Milan can prevent that by beating Como, especially after Napoli drew with Parma; failure would leave Inter feeling like frontrunners despite many matches remaining. Allegri’s selected starting XI uses a three-man defence of Tomori, Gabbia and De Winter in front of Maignan. Wing-backs Saelemaekers and Bartesaghi flank a midfield trio of Fofana, Modric and Rabiot. Nkunku and Leao are set to lead the attack, with Pulisic likely on the bench. Predicted XIs and benches for both teams are provided.
