AC Milan have another huge game to negotiate and Stefano Pioli is likely to have already found the starting eleven that he thinks can secure victory in Serie A over Napoli.
According to this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Milan are going to be lining up at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona with Mike Maignan and a back four of Davide Calabria, Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez.
Kalulu is getting the nod in the centre-back role because Malick Thiaw was sent off in the previous Serie A game against Juventus, and is therefore suspended.
In the midfield, Pioli is expected to stick with a three of Yunus Musah on the right, Rade Krunic in the middle and Tijjani Reijnders on the left, but there are rumours that Musah and Reijnders may swap sides.
The expected attacking trio of Christian Pulisic, Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao will start.
Probable Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, T. Hernandez; Reijnders, Krunic, Musah; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao.
Probable Napoli XI (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Natan, Mario Rui; Cajuste, Lobotka, Zielinski; Politano, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia.
