AC Milan are looking to bounce back after the Europa League elimination and need to overcome Chievo in the league, the last obstacle before the international break.
Another fundamental match today for Gennaro Gattuso’s team at San Siro. At 15:00 the Rossoneri play Chievo Verona, a match to be won at all cost. The red and blacks must forget the Europa League elimination and secure three points before the international break.
Gennaro Gattuso, after having deployed a 4-4-2 formation against Arsenal in London will return to the old 4-3-3 with Chievo. In front of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Rino is forced to make some changes. Alessio Romangoli and Davide Calabria are out due to injury so Cristian Zapata (favorite over Mateo Musacchio) and Fabio Borini will start. Perhaps the coach will offer some minutes to Andrea Conti in the final moments of the match. On the left, Ricardo Rodriguez.
In midfield Lucas Biglia will resume his place as playmaker, while Giacomo Bonaventura returns as inside left. Franck Kessie as usual on the right. In the attacking trio, wingers Jesus Suso and Hakan Calhanoglu will support the lone striker. For the moment Patrick Cutrone is favorite over Andre Silva, while Nikola Kalinic has been lef out.
AC MILAN (4-3-3): G. Donnarumma; Borini, Bonucci, Zapata (Musacchio), Rodriguez; Kessié, Biglia, Bonaventura; Suso, Cutrone (Silva), Calhanoglu.
CHIEVO (4-3-2-1): Sorrentino; Cacciatore, Dainelli (Tomovic), Bani, Jaroszynski (Gobbi); Castro, Radovanovic, Hetemaj; Birsa, Giaccherini; Inglese.
