"AC Milan face a huge test of their title credentials on Sunday night, as they take on Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. Milan go into the game having won their last two games against Como and Lecce, but Inter's 6-2 victory over Pisa on Friday night means they need to keep winning in order to keep pace. Roma have also done very well under Gian Piero Gasperini, so it will be a very challenging trip."
"If the Como game wasn't, then this is certainly the first major test of the year for Allegri's men, who are six points behind Inter for the time being after their win on Friday night. Roma are just four points back, so a defeat at the Olimpico could reopen everything. The big question mark for Milan going into this game is the condition of Alexis Saelemaekers, who limped off during the closing stages of the Lecce game with an adductor issue. Scans ruled out anything serious, and the typical 'monitor day by day' treatment was prescribed by the medical staff."
AC Milan visit Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday 25 January with kick-off at 20:45 CET and Andrea Colombo as referee. Milan have won their last two matches and are unbeaten in 20 games but sit six points behind Inter after Inter's 6-2 win over Pisa, so continued victories are vital. Roma have improved under Gian Piero Gasperini and sit four points behind, making the fixture a major challenge. Alexis Saelemaekers injured his adductor at Lecce but scans found no serious damage; he returned to training and Allegri will assess whether to include or start him.
