"AC Milan are looking to clinch their first win against Cremonese in the 21st century tomorrow, having dropped points on all three occasions so far. Just a few weeks ago, Milan were not too far behind Inter and there was a buzz around city, knowing that the derby could bring them even closer. However, after a draw and a defeat, ten points now separate the two sides."
"The Scudetto hopes have certainly died down a bit as a result, but as Massimiliano Allegri highlighted during his presser, that doesn't change anything for the team. They still have a lot of work to do and tomorrow's game will require a hard-fought performance."
"One of the main talking points has been that Zachary Athekame, Youssouf Fofana, Adrien Rabiot and Alexis Saelemaekers are all one yellow card away from suspension, meaning they would miss the derby if not careful. However, Allegri also said that he won't take this into consideration for the XI."
AC Milan prepares to face Cremonese on March 1st, seeking their first victory against the opponent in the 21st century after three unsuccessful encounters. The team has experienced a significant setback in their title ambitions, dropping ten points behind Inter following a recent draw and defeat. Despite diminished Scudetto hopes, manager Massimiliano Allegri emphasizes the team must maintain focus and deliver a hard-fought performance. Key absences include Matteo Gabbia, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Santiago Gimenez due to injuries. Several players face suspension risks if receiving yellow cards before the derby. The defensive lineup features Tomori, De Winter, and Pavlovic, while Fofana starts in midfield ahead of Jashari. Pulisic and Leao lead the attacking formation.
