Milan got knocked out of the Coppa Italia on Wednesday and will thus have to focus on the league, as well as the Europa League, moving forward. A strong display is needed tomorrow to raise the confidence, as well as cement third place in the league standings.
According to MilanNews, Theo Hernandez will be back on the left-hand side of the defence after playing many games as a centre-back. Matteo Gabbia and Simon Kjaer will be the starting centre-backs, as a result, and this will hopefully allow the Frenchman to use his best qualities.
Yacine Adli got a bit of rest against Atalanta and will be back from the first minute tomorrow evening, hoping to convince Pioli in the No.6 role. He will team up with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tijjani Reijnders, making for a solid midfield.
Luka Jovic failed to impress mid-week and will be on the bench, with Olivier Giroud completing the attacking trio this time out.
Probable Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Gabbia, Hernandez; Loftus-Cheek, Adli, Reijnders; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao.
