After the Inter game, this is a big test to see how focused the Milan team really are. Against ‘smaller’ teams, the focus has wavered a little. So, after such a big game, the same issues could be experienced.

Of course, the Laziali are not a small team, and they have European ambitions this season. However, they have a challenge ahead of them with a six-point gap to the Champions League spots.

For Massimiliano Allegri and Maurizio Sarri, this will be the latest game in a 20-year rivalry, and neither will want to drop points.

Lazio returns

On their website, as MilanPress relays, it was confirmed that Valentin Castellanos and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru had been ‘re-instated’ to the squad and were available for the game on Saturday night. The Argentine forward is a massive return for Maurizio Sarri.

In five starts this season, he has scored 2 goals and gotten three assists, and he could be a big threat if he features. Whether he will be ready from the start is debatable, though, given his last minutes came at the start of October.
