AC Milan will take on Salernitana at Stadio Arechi this evening and Stefano Pioli has named his starting XI for the clash. As expected, Ismael Bennacer will make his first start since recovering from the serious knee injury.
Milan will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in the league after beating Monza last time out. And with Christmas celebrations coming up, it would be good to clinch all three points against Salernitana this evening.
Stefano Pioli has decided to make two changes to the XI, reverting to a 4-3-3 formation as well after fielding a three-man backline against Monza. Bennacer will make his first start since the comeback and Davide Calabria is back from suspension.
Official Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Kjær, Hernández; Loftus-Cheek, Bennacer, Reijnders; Pulisic, Giroud, Leão.
Bench: Mirante, Nava; Bartesaghi, Florenzi, Jiménez, Nsiala, Simić; Adli, Krunić, Romero, Zeroli; Chukwueze, Jović.
Official Salernitana XI (4-3-2-1): Costil; Mazzocchi, Fazio, Pirola, Bradarić; Coulibaly, Bohinen, Łęgowski; Candreva, Dia; Tchaouna.
Bench: Fiorillo, Salvati; Bronn, Daniliuc, Gyömbér, Lovato, Sambia; Kastanos, Martegani; Botheim, Cabral, Ikwuemesi, Simy. Coach: F. Inzaghi.
Given that Salernitana are at the bottom of the league standings, Milan are the clear favourites for this game. Of course, the Rossoneri cannot afford to underestimate their opponents, especially not in front of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
