"A changed midfield with Jashari and Ricci starters overcame a poor Lecce team to extend Milan's unbeaten run. The 20 games Serie A unbeaten run is close to the 23 games in one season unbeaten run of 1992-1993 with Capello at the helm. Allegri and the players deserve credit for this of course and the narrative that Allegri's boring and/or defensive system is counter to football values makes little difference in the end."
"Jashari, De Winter and Ricci have shown better form and are benefiting and will benefit from more minutes. Whether any of the three get a start is not certain. De Winter can deputise for Tomori in case the latter needs rest or Pavlovic can heal his injured a bit longer. Fofana and Loftus-Cheek may not have done much recently but coaches have their ways."
"A Maignan renewal is reportedly imminent. It has otherwise been a very quiet window transfer window and it has only eight more days left as of this match at the Olimpico. On and off mentions of Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta resurfaced this week but will require relatively big money to happen. Visit the forums to follow this match and everything Milan."
Milan used a changed midfield with Jashari and Ricci to beat a weak Lecce and extend a 20-game Serie A unbeaten run, approaching the 1992–93 mark. Allegri and the players receive credit for the results, and tactical criticism has not undermined progress. Roma sit four points behind and present a tougher test, while Atalanta under Gasperini is not currently enhancing its reputation. Jashari, De Winter and Ricci are in better form and may earn more minutes; De Winter can cover Tomori if needed. Several attackers carry knocks, Maignan renewal looks imminent, and the transfer window has been quiet.
