La Gazzetta dello Sport report that for tomorrow's match against Cremonese, Allegri is once again banking on his star duo of Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao to lead the line, who were held without a goal in their last start against Parma. Niclas Füllkrug and Christopher Nkunku will therefore be on the bench, at least initially, as Allegri doesn't seem inclined to deviate from his usual 3-5-2 formation.
Heimir Hallgrimsson faced a few dilemmas in terms of team selection and admitted on the eve of the match that some training ground performances had changed his thinking. He has recalled Szmodics to the side, with the Ipswich player getting the nod ahead of his club mate Chiedozie Ogbene, who has gone on loan to Sheffield United. Ferguson was always expected to start but there was a question mark around the attacking formation with Azaz given the nod.
