Milan are currently on a six-game winning streak and will be looking to extend that tomorrow. With Juventus now six points behind, the Rossoneri have their eyes set on ruining Inter’s premature Scudetto party, given that 14 points separating the sides as things stand.
Speaking live on Sky Italia earlier today, as cited by Radio Rossonera, Manuele Baiocchini shared his thoughts on the probable starting XI for the game. As Ruben Loftus-Cheek is suspended, Christian Pulisic is set to start in the No.10 role instead, with Samuel Chukwueze on the right.
“It will be a very attacking-minded Milan, perhaps never seen like this before. Loftus-Cheek is suspended. In the usual 4-2-3-1, the Englishman will be replaced by Christian Pulisic in the attacking trio, with Chukwueze confirmed on the right and Leao on the left. Giroud will be up front. In midfield, in front of the defence, there will be Adli and Reijnders,” he stated.
Milan will certainly lack a lot of physicality – which is important in the defensive phase – without both Ismael Bennacer and Loftus-Cheek. Although the goal is always to have a strong game on both ends of the pitch, the feeling is that the key will be to outscore Lecce tomorrow.
