Team News: Juventus
Mattia De Sciglio (unknown injury) and Moise Kean (Knee problems) will not be able to play for Juventus gaffer Massimiliano Allegri.
In our view, Juve will possibly make use of the 3-5-2 formation with Wojciech Szczesny, Federico Gatti, Bremer, Danilo, Andrea Cambiaso, Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic, Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa.

Team News: AC Milan
Owing to an otherwise healthy group, there’s only the lone fitness problem for the AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli to be concerned about. Pierre Kalulu (Collateral ligament injury) won’t be playing here. The suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Theo Hernández, Fikayo Tomori and Davide Calabria.
It’s our belief that i Rossoneri might make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Mike Maignan, Yunus Musah, Matteo Gabbia, Malick Thiaw, Alessandro Florenzi, Tijjani Reijnders, Ismaël Bennacer, Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Rafael Leão and Olivier Giroud.
