"It has been a while since AC Milan ran out in front of their home fans at San Siro - one month to be exact - but they will do so again tonight. There is plenty of attention surrounding the 'rematch' between Milan and Como, after the 3-1 win for the Rossoneri last month sparked a debate about style of play versus getting results, with Cesc Fabregas not too happy."
"On the one hand, the 40-year-old Ballon d'Or winner continues to be decisive despite his age, having scored the winner against Pisa on Friday night to rescue Milan from more dropped points against a lower-ranking side. Modric does seem to be benefitting from having less games on the schedule in terms of sharpness, but this will be a rare midweek test against a tough opponent."
AC Milan return to San Siro after a month without a home game and face Como in a closely watched rematch. Milan need a win to cut the gap to Inter to five points and must use a game in hand to keep Scudetto hopes alive. Last month's 3-1 result generated debate over style versus results and tension with Cesc Fabregas. Key individual battles include Luka Modric versus Nico Paz, with Modric still decisive at 40 and Paz contributing 14 goal involvements. Anastasios Douvikas leads Como's attack and will test Koni De Winter after Matteo Gabbia is rested.
