Paulo Fonseca returns to the Giallorossi, the team that launched him as coach in Italy, and challenges Sir Claudio Ranieri. The Rossoneri must do without Rafa Leao, not yet at best after the muscular problem that occurred a few days ago. The Giallorossi can do no wrong if they want to get back into European contention.

Compositions probables
There are several absences from Milan: Bennacer, Florenzi, Jovic, Loftus-Cheek, Musah and Okafor, but especially Rafa Leao who has not yet recovered from the muscular problem suffered against Verona and should be unavailable. Jimenez is ready to play in a more advanced position with Reijnders between the lines and Chukwueze on the other side. Morata is the only striker, with the indispensable Fofana in midfield, alongside Terracciano who should be confirmed in midfield.
On the Roma side, Cristante is absent but Ranieri can count on a rediscovered Paredes who will play alongside Koné. Angelino and Saelemaekers on the wings in the 3-4-2-1 completed by El Shaarawy, Dybala and Dovbyk. Hummels in the center of defense with Mancini and Ndicka.
