GdS: Predicted XIs for AC Milan vs. Pisa – Allegri relies on Fiorentina game-changers

AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri has settled on the starting line-up that he will use against Pisa tonight, a report claims.

Just as it was against Fiorentina a few days ago, the task is rather simple: win to secure being top spot at the end of the round. There is an added layer of intrigue tonight though, given Milan can go four points clear for the time being, while waiting for the other games like Napoli vs. Inter.

Milan still have an injury crisis to contend with as Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, Pervis Estupinan, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ardon Jashari will all miss out. Christopher Nkunku is back, and should take a place on the bench.

According to this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the duo to lead the line will be Santiago Gimenez and Rafael Leao for Milan. Behind them will be the midfield trio of Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modric and Samuele Ricci.

Alexis Saelemaekers retakes the right wing-back spot with Davide Bartesaghi occupying the other flank. The three-man defence will see Koni De Winter come in for Fikayo Tomori, partnering with Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic, ahead of Mike Maignan.

Predicted Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Ricci, Bartesaghi; Gimenez, Leao.
