"It has been exactly one month since Milan last took to the field to play in front of their home fans, the 1-0 win over Lecce to be precise. Since then they have been on the road, racking up two wins (3-0 vs. Bologna, 2-1 vs. Pisa) and a draw (1-1 vs. Roma). This is the second time in just over a month that Milan and Como will face each other. It was an Adrien Rabiot-inspired performance that got the job done by the lake, which Cesc Fabregas didn't feel was fair."
"There is one change to the three-man defence ahead of the captain Mike Maignan: Koni De Winter replaces Matteo Gabbia, partnering up with Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic. Alexis Saelemaekers is back on the bench but won't be risked, with Zachary Athekame and Davide Bartesaghi on the flanks. The midfield trio is a combination that hasn't been used before, with Ardon Jashari and Samuele Ricci operating either side of Friday's hero Luka Modric in what is a big opportunity for both the Swiss and the Italian."
AC Milan last played at home a month ago, winning 1-0 against Lecce, and then recorded two away wins and a draw. Milan meet Como for the second time in just over a month after an Adrien Rabiot-inspired performance at Como that drew criticism from Cesc Fabregas. Three players are unavailable: Adrien Rabiot (one-game suspension), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (late exclusion with discomfort) and Santiago Gimenez (recovering from ankle surgery). Koni De Winter replaces Matteo Gabbia in a three-man defence with Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic. Ardon Jashari and Samuele Ricci flank Luka Modric in midfield. Christopher Nkunku partners Rafael Leao up front, with a bench including Gabbia, Youssouf Fofana, Saelemaekers, Pervis Estupinan, Christian Pulisic and Niclas Füllkrug.
