"As was reported in the build-up to the game, Allegri has chosen to name Koni De Winter, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic as the three centre-backs in the rearguard ahead of the captain Mike Maignan in goal. Alexis Saelemaekers will be the right wing-back facing the club he was on loan at last season, with Davide Bartesaghi on the opposite side. They will flank a midfield trio of Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modric and Samuele Ricci."
"After back-to-back draws in the league against Pisa and La Dea, Milan are on the hunt for what would be their sixth win in their first 10 Serie A fixtures. However, they face a Roma side that are three points higher at the moment, and have conceded just four goals in nine games. Allegri will be without four players due to injury this evening: forward duo Santiago Gimenez and Christian Pulisic, influential midfielder Adrien Rabiot and the young winger Cheveyo Balentien."
"The front two will be Rafael Leao and Christopher Nkunku, but this was almost a given because of Christian Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez's injury problems. Official Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Ricci, Bartesaghi; Leao, Nkunku. Bench: Pittarella, Terracciano, Tomori, Odogu, Athekame, Estupinan, Jashari, Loftus-Cheek, Castiello. Official Roma (3-4-1-2): Svilar ; Mancini, Ndicka, Hermoso; Wesley, El Ayanoui, Kone, Celik; Soule, Cristante; Dybala. Bench: Vasquez, Gollini, Rensch, Pellegrini, Dovbyk, Tsimikas, Ziolkowski, Bailey, Baldanzi, Pisilli, Ghilardi, El Shaarawy."
