Clash of giants in Italy: these are the starting lineups of AC Milan and Juventus

This Sunday afternoon at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium in Milan, the most important match of the weekend in Serie A will be played. Second in the league standings, AC Milan, will face Juventus, who are currently in fourth place. The hosts are four points clear of their rivals and need to win to regain the top spot, which was stolen yesterday by Inter with a 3-0 win over Torino.

The Rossoneri have had an almost perfect start to the season. In their first eight games they have seven wins and lost just once (the derby against Inter, 5-1). La Vecchia Signora have been less successful: they won five games, drew two and lost one. In addition, they have also had problems off the field, such as the positive doping of Paul Pogba, one of the stars of the squad.

In their last match before the international break in October, AC Milan beat Genoa 1-0 with a goal by Christian Pulisic. Juventus also won, no less, the derby against Torino, 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium.

For this match, coach Stefano Pioli decided that AC Milan's starting lineup will be: Antonio Mirante; Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori, Alessandro Florenzi; Yunus Musah, Yacine Adli, Tijjani Reijnders; Christian Pulisic, Olivier Giroud, Rafael Leao. In addition, the substitutes will be Lapo Francesco Maria Nava, Pierre Kalulu Kyatengwa, Simon Kjaer, Marco Pellegrino, Alejandro Jimenez, Rade Krunic, Tomaso Pobega, Luka Romero, Luka Jovic, Noah Okafor and Chaka Traore.

This will be the XI of the visitors

Juventus will be looking to surprise their rivals and take to Turin 3 points that would be key to get closer to the top of the standings. Coach Massimiliano Allegri chose this starting line-up: Wojciech Szczesny; Frederico Gatti, Bremer, Daniel Rugani; Timothy Weah, Weston McKennie, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic, Manuel Locatelli; Moise Kean, Arkadiusz Milik. On the bench will be Carlo Pinsoglio, Mattia Perin, Andrea Cambiaso, Dean Huijsen, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, Fabio Miretti, Joseph Nonge, Federico Chiesa, Dusan Vlahovic, Samuel Iling Junior and Kenan Yildiz.
