AC Milan will take on Napoli this Sunday and Stefano Pioli is expected to make one change to the starting XI. It’s a forced one, it should be noted, as Tijjani Reijnders will miss the game due to suspension.
Reijnders has played every single league game from start this season but that impressive run will come to an end against Napoli on Sunday. The Dutchman received his fifth yellow card against Frosinone last time out and will thus be suspended for the game.
As a result, per Sky Italia (see photos below), Pioli is expected to start Yacine Adli and Ismael Bennacer in the midfield tandem. The duo has never started a game together and it will be very interesting to see them in action, with Yunus Musah failing to break into the XI yet again.
That will be the only change for Milan, while Napoli and Walter Mazzzari are set to switch from a four-man to a three-man backline. Both sides will have new looks in their own ways on Sunday, therefore, and it should be an interesting game underneath the floodlights at San Siro.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Gabbia, Hernandez; Adli, Bennacer; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud.
Probable Napoli XI (3-5-1-1): Gollini; Ostigard, Juan Jesus, Rrahmani; Di Lorenzo, Anguissa, Lobotka, Cajuste, Mazzocchi; Kvara; Simeone.
