"AC Milan are expected to stick with a standard XI for the game against Sassuolo, despite the Supercoppa Italiana being around the corner. This was probably an overlooked game when the fixture list came out. However, now it is of massive importance to Milan. A win would keep them top for the festive period, but it would also be a first success against a newly promoted team."
"Massimiliano Allegri is sticking to his guns, both literally and metaphorically for this game, in prioritising the game directly ahead of his team. So, he is not expected to make rotational changes here. Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic will not be displaced in the backline, then. The quartet have been solid this season, and Allegri reinforced his trust in them during his press conference today."
AC Milan view the Sassuolo fixture as crucial for maintaining top position over the festive period and as a chance for a first win against a newly promoted side. Massimiliano Allegri plans minimal rotation and will prioritise the match immediately ahead. The backline of Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic is retained due to consistent performances. The midfield trio of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Adrien Rabiot and Luka Modric is expected to continue despite speculation about Samuele Ricci. Christian Pulisic will replace Rafael Leao, and Christopher Nkunku is set to start a third consecutive Serie A match. Predicted formation: 3-5-2.
