AC Milan are taking on Sassuolo this afternoon and after the disappointing defeat to Roma, the Rossoneri will be looking to bounce back with a strong performance. However, with so many changes to the XI, it might not be easy.
Indeed, Stefano Pioli has opted for heavy rotation for this game and that is certainly understandable, given the return leg against Roma next week. Not to mention the derby taking place four days after that clash.
However, it is always risky to make so many changes. Below, you can follow along with our live updates from the game.

Any still in doubt if Pioli is our man… the team is mentally setup as if they are playing against 14-year olds…..
And so it begins, why would you play two old and slow players on the right side of the defence, why is florenzi moving to the middle and exposing Kjear …??
Fire Pioli!
Embarrassing
Even im not allowed to post comment!!
well done mr. Pioli
the sad part is that, Pioli seems incapeable of writing the book: how not to fail…. as the same negative defensive trends continously haunt us….
hard week.. and i’m sure Roma will attack us with all they got…
I would do what Roma did.
Fire Pioli right now, and I mean IMMEDITELY after the game ends, and promote Bonera or Abate until the end of the season. At this point, I actually think Pioli is giving the middle finger to Milan, on purpose knowing he is already gone.
This is ridiculous. Right now Milan is playing worse than teams at the MLS level.
Let DDR face Bonera or Abate.
We will lose with Pioli.
Once again, idiotic.
Chucwu was so unlucky on both cases.
Giroud’s mind is already in LA
Kjaer was so horrendous in this game
Piolis f-ing rotations NEVER work!!!!!
