"AC Milan welcome Parma to San Siro on Sunday evening, hoping to continue their winning ways and pad the gap to fifth place. Inter are almost running their own race at the moment as they moved 10 points clear, and while Milan can make it a seven-point gap again by beating Parma, Massimiliano Allegri stressed the importance of making it an 11-point gap to fifth in his pre-match press conference."
"Speaking of those changes in attack, it feels like Milan will go as far as Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic take them. The duo are the joint-top scorers in Serie A with eight goals each, but this would be just their third start together in the league. So, it is a big chance for the Portuguese and the American to prove why Allegri has had so much faith in them as the front two from day one."
"Given that they tend to drift a bit to the left and right, it feels as though Leao and Pulisic will come up against Enrico Del Prato and Lautaro Valenti mostly. The 26-year-old Italian and the 27-year-old Argentine play either side of Mariano Triolo, and it is off the shoulder of those two that Milan's forwards will try make their runs."
AC Milan host Parma at San Siro aiming to extend a winning run and widen the gap to fifth place. Inter sit ten points clear, so Milan can narrow the gap to Inter or increase the cushion to fifth with victory; Allegri emphasized making it an 11-point margin to fifth. Starting changes are expected with Davide Bartesaghi likely in a back three, Ruben Loftus-Cheek in midfield and Pervis Estupinan at left wing-back. Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic should lead the line as joint top scorers. Parma will rely on Enrico Del Prato, Lautaro Valenti and Mariano Triolo defensively, with Sascha Britschgi operating on the flank.
