GdS: Probable Milan XI to face Torino – slight system change expected

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli is likely to make a slight change to the 3-5-2 system he used against Inter for the game against Torino tomorrow.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (as seen below), the three-man defence should remain with Pierre Kalulu and Simon Kjaer certain of a starting spot and a battle between Matteo Gabbia and Malick Thiaw to complete the rearguard in front of Ciprian Tatarusanu.

Davide Calabria and Theo Hernandez are currently tipped to be the right and left wing-backs but Alexis Saelemaekers could get the nod over the captain, with Rade Krunic and Sandro Tonali the midfield double pivot.

The attacking department is set to consist of Brahim Diaz, Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao in what is down as a 3-4-3 system but could see the Spaniard given a free-roaming role.

Probable Milan XI (3-4-3): Tatarusanu; Kalulu, Kjaer, Gabbia; Calabria, Krunic, Tonali, Theo Hernandez; Brahim Diaz, Giroud, Leao.
