AC Milan are in Serie A action in the final game of round 14, taking on Torino at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

Milan had their 13-game unbeaten run across all competitions broken by Lazio on Thursday in the Coppa Italia, as they exited in the last-16. They remain 12 games without defeat in the league, but have won just one time in the last dozen away league games against Torino.

Torino vs. AC Milan: Predicted starting XIs

Christian Pulisic has been battling a fever and thus is in doubt for the game. The American has not travelled with the rest of the team, but will do on the day of the game if he recovers overnight. Youssouf Fofana, Zachary Athekame and Santiago Gimenez are also out.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Massimiliano Allegri will revert to his first choice defensive unit of Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic in front of Mike Maignan, with Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi out side.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot are expected to be the midfield three, and Christopher Nkunku will partner Rafael Leao up front. Once again, the bench will look bare due to the four absences.

Predicted Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Nkunku, Leao.

Predicted Torino XI (3-5-2): Israel; Tameze, Maripan, Coco; Pedersen, Casadei, Asllani, Vlasic, Lazaro; Zapata, Adams.
