"Milan is taking a solid shape with Allegri at the helm. Milan have not conceded a goal since the week 1 loss to Cremonese. The games have not been against the strongest opposition but the midfield has looked solid and the back three used have managed to keep the ball out of the net without looking spectacular. The games will get tougher and a more telling run starts with this week 5 match versus Napoli."
"Leao is back in training and is ready for match action. The Portuguese might still be used as a sub only. Gimenez and Pulisic may be part of a 3-5-2 for one more week at least. The midfield is offering some options. The primary question mark is how much time is Loftus-Cheek going to get. The Englishman looked like a certain starter and he has backed it up so far but Allegri may prefer a middle five of Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot and Estupinan."
Milan have shown defensive solidity under Allegri, not conceding since the week 1 loss to Cremonese. The midfield has provided balance while the back three have kept clean sheets without standout performances. A demanding run begins with Napoli in week 5 and includes Juventus, Fiorentina, Atalanta and Roma before early November. Leao has returned to training and may be used off the bench. Gimenez and Pulisic could feature in a 3-5-2, while Loftus-Cheek faces competition from Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot and Estupinan. Defensive backups have yet to impress, and Maignan’s long-term future remains uncertain. Napoli have four wins but face injuries to Buongiorno and Lukaku.
