AC Milan face off against Inter Milan on Sunday night at the iconic San Siro in a top-of-the-table clash.
AC Milan sit third in the league standings with 22 points, amassed through six wins and four draws. Their recent form has seen them drop points, notably conceding a late equaliser in an away fixture against Parma.
While unbeaten since their opening match defeat, their four draws in the last six games reflect the fiercely competitive nature of this Serie A season.
AC Milan team news
Massimiliano Allegri’s squad has faced some fitness challenges, with Santiago Gimenez still sidelined by an ankle injury that has kept him out of full training. On the bright side, Adrien Rabiot has returned to training and will partner with Luka Modric in midfield.
The Rossoneri’s attack is bolstered by the return of key figures. Rafael Leao has overcome a hip problem and featured in Milan’s recent game at Parma. The squad will expect him to make an important impact against their fierce rivals on Sunday.
Christian Pulisic has bounced back from his physical setbacks and came off the bench recently. He remained at Milanello during the international break, choosing to forgo the United States call-up to prepare for the derby. Allegri is expected to deploy an unconventional frontline spearheaded by Leao and Pulisic as the key attacking duo.

Possible AC Milan starting XI: Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Pulisic, Leao.
