"After having drawn their last two fixtures against Genoa and Fiorentina - teams in the bottom few places in the table - there is added pressure for Milan to go to Como and be the first team to beat them in their own stadium this season. Cesc Fabregas' side have made the Sinigaglia a fortress and it has helped them get into the mix challenging for a European place."
"With the only two absentees being Strahinja Pavlovic (due to having a stitched up head) and Santiago Gimenez (still recovering from surgery), Allegri has named a team that is vastly changed from the 1-1 in Florence. It starts with a three-man defence of Fikayo Tomori (back from suspension), Matteo Gabbia and Koni De Winter (in for the injured Pavlovic) ahead of the goalkeeper Mike Maignan."
Milan drew their last two fixtures against Genoa and Fiorentina, increasing pressure to be the first team to beat Como at the Sinigaglia this season. Como have made the Sinigaglia a fortress and sit in contention for a European place. Milan paradoxically perform better against top-half teams and on the road. Strahinja Pavlovic and Santiago Gimenez are absent. Allegri names a heavily changed XI with a three-man defence of Tomori, Gabbia and De Winter ahead of Maignan. Saelemaekers and Bartesaghi operate as wing-backs with Fofana, Modric and Rabiot in midfield. Nkunku and Leao start, Pulisic is on the bench.
