AC Milan make the trip to Turin to face Juventus with an awful record at the Allianz Stadium to try and overturn.
The phrase ‘six-pointer’ is often overused in football, but it could not be more fitting for tonight’s game given that the two sides are in a heated top four battle and are currently level on points as things stand, with three games left after this.
