AC Milan take on AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening in a pivotal Serie A clash, with both sides hungry for victory.
Roma are searching for a fifth clean sheet in six matches, while the away team looks to extend its remarkable unbeaten sequence and stay in the hunt near the league leaders.
The Rossoneri earned a narrow 1-0 victory against Lecce at San Siro, sealed by Niclas Füllkrug’s key header, keeping them close behind Inter atop the standings.
Milan boast a 20-game unbeaten run in Serie A — their finest since Carlo Ancelotti’s 2004/05 vintage — including 13 wins and seven draws.
AC Milan team news
The team will check on Alexis Saelemaekers’ condition; the winger’s adductor strain from the Lecce game has eased, per Allegri, who’ll decide on a start. Santiago Gimenez is sidelined long-term, and Strahinja Pavlovic, fresh off a head knock, might lack full sharpness.
New signing Niclas Füllkrug wasted no time, heading home in the 76th minute versus Lecce. The arrival of Füllkrug now boosted the attacking option for Massimiliano Allegri’s side alongside in-form Rafael Leao, Cristian Pulisic, and Christopher Nkunku.
