The games are coming thick and fast in the month of January following the winter break for the World Cup, and the Rossoneri will take to the field at San Siro once again tomorrow night looking to reach the cup quarter-finals.

According to Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Stefano Pioli is also evaluating the possibility of deploying his team in a three-man defence from the first minute of the game.

Pioli has used three at the back as a solution in the past but has generally done so during games, including during Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Roma when it did not achieve the desired affect. To see it from minute one tomorrow might be a suggestion that the system is gaining more space in Pioli’s plans.
