Stefano Pioli has almost fully decided on the starting line-up that he will field against Juventus on Sunday, with just two doubts left to resolve.
According to our colleagues at SempreMilan.it, nine of the 11 spots have been dedided on with Mike Maignan in goal and Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez as the back four.

Sandro Tonai and Rade Krunic should be the midfield pairing, with Rafael Leao on the left wing and Olivier Giroud as the centre-forward.
Completing the attack, the most likely hypothesis at the moment is Junior Messias on the right wing and Brahim Diaz as the playmaker.
However, there is a possibility Alexis Saelemaekers gets the nod over the Belgian, and Tommaso Pobega could start in the place of the Spaniard to give a bit more balance.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Tonali, Krunic; Messias, Diaz, Leao; Giroud.
Why messias
Every time I see Messias’ name come up, I cringe. He is SO awful yet Pioli picks him every time over Alexis…
