AC Milan will be up against Juventus on Sunday evening and Ruben Amorim is preparing to make two changes to the starting eleven, according to a report.
It’s a big one at Allianz Stadium! After the wins against Torino and Venezia, Milan are gearing up for their first major clash of the season. It’s a fixture that they haven’t won in over three years either, so Ruben Amorim would send quite the signal with three points.

Gerry Cardinale is expected to be present at the stadium for this game too, having arrived at Milanello this morning, so the head coach will surely want to impress. The team selection could be a big decider in that sense.
Two changes on the cards
According to Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, Amorim is currently eyeing two changes to the eleven compared to the game against Venezia. First of all, Pervis Estupinan is ahead of Davide Bartesaghi for the left wing-back spot, having played one game each so far.
Further up the pitch, Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been a big disappointment lately and he’s heading for the bench. Adrien Rabiot has done very well when coming on and he should now get the chance from the first minute, replacing the Englishman.
The only battle to consider is Samuel Chukwueze against the new signing Diego Moreira, with the Nigerian ahead 60-40 as things stand.
Predicted Milan XI (3-4-2-1): Maignan; Gila, De Winter, Pavlovic; Chukwueze, Modric, Musah, Estupinan; Rabiot, Cisse; Ramos.
Predicted bench: P. Terracciano, Torriani, Diawara, Tomori, F. Terracciano, Bartesaghi, Moreira, Jashari, Comotto, Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic, Hutchinson, Camarda.
Predicted Juventus XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi, Celik; Locatelli, Douglas Luiz; Conceicao, Nico Gonzalez, Boga; Kolo Muani.
Predicted bench: Grabara, Pinsoglio, Kelly, Rugani, Gatti, Koopmeiners, Owusu, Alajbegovic, Milik, Woltemade.
Conceicao > Estupinan = 🤔 !!!
Conceicao took Bartesaghi to school each and every time he ran at him in this fixture last season. He roasted him time and time again.
Give Moreira a chance on the left. He CANNOT br worse then Estupinan. Let the 50m signing do his thing: PLAYING.
Why did Milan sign Moreira if Amorim is not going to use him. Amorim ain’t smart..😡😡
Moreira will get his chance. He may very well start this one. This is only the predicted lineup
Moreira or Saelemaekers on the left, Saelemaekers as the left 10?
Please, cisse out and sarlemaeker in.
I predict a substitution in 15minutes. Estupinian can’t handle Juve wingers.
ESTUPINAN ???????????? ne mogu vjerovat pored 100 mil eura vrijednosti Moreire i Hachinsona !! Ko je ovdje lud nije mi jasno ali ja nisam !!!!! Ako izgube sa cisseom i estupinanom onda je Amorim kriva akvizicja pored več gore navedenih a i Pulišiča i Sakemakersa
I don’t know he want to start cisse, he have three options why started this guy hope he don’t regret this by god grace oooo
Neither can Barteshaghi…go back and watch this fixture from last season. Conceicao roasted Barte until he was eventually subbed out…For Estupinan, who actually defended better.
