It’s very difficult that Ibrahimovic recovers for the game against Juventus. Bakayoko, Messias and Krunic will certainly miss the game too

Juventus fans seem pretty confident about the game.
Allegri seems to be fixing the team to function efficiently.

We have a small problem in that Leao can roast defenders on the left and as a single player is better than Rebic as a LW....however, Rebic also brings Theo into the game....which can do more damage (in attack anyway).

Kessie needs to have a monster game to make up from his jittery showing vs pool.
You are forgetting the defensive aspect.

Leao is improving but its a process.

I love when they re overconfident with fkin bentacur and locateli holding midfield. Put rebic or diaz on loca most of the game.I think giroud should start and hold de light or bonuci so rebic and leao have more space. In second hald put someone else, false 9 or something.

Im confident in defence, tomori and theo on left re great whoever they put on right. Kessie needs to step up big time. His last games were awful. And tonali must start.

i disagree about our left being good defensively. almost all of our goals always get scored on us from the left side. look at liverpool.. attacks for goals 1 and 2 started from our left side. look v juve last year, chiesa both goals... left side. our left is weak bc theo is not a great defender and kessie is slow, hopefully theo improves this part of his game as if he does he'll be truly top class

I don't understand how they can be confident after 3 awful performances and beating only Malmo so far.

Kessie didn't show up at Anfield but he bossed Lazio on Sunday

because they finally will have strongest team
f.e. against napoli they were without chiesa, dybala, cuadrado

also its home game
and if they fail they are in crisis - so they have hope for changing things now.

I?m not slightly concerned about the juventus game, their fans are on high because of the malmo game which is a very wrong indication.

They will not approach the game and press Milan, they can?t do it. Allegri will play counter attacking football which will be very funny considering the pace we possess in recovery.

If we are clinical it will be a very big game from our boys as we will create many chances, it?s inevitable.

Kess & Tona will be the deciders of this game.
Dybala is tricky to mark but he wont pressure our pivots that much so they should easily dictate the game.

Wishful thinking that Pioli will start any other RW than Sale.
Just press the fuck out of Loca-Benta & its game over IMO.

Feels weird going into this game as favorites.

They're one of the weakest pressing teams in Serie A this season so far. Extreme drop off from last year. Allegri just doesn't care about pressing at all.

Who said we are favorites?

Exactly, Italian media keep coming up with the narrative that this will be a repeat of the 15/16 season and this game is destined for Juve to make a comeback so they can get back into the Scudetto race, regardless of who the opposition is.

We're still the underdog, albeit an underdog who is "overperforming with youngsters in the first 3 games" and "missing our best player in Zlatan". That's the narrative the media are going with.

Bookmakers outside Italy also have Juve as strong favourites.

Italian media will always be on the side of Juve. Just look at the performances of the two sides this season and it clear that we should be favorites to win. Anything can happen, but heading into the game we are clearly playing better football.

The fuckers will be really up for this. We are in far better form, but I don't see it as an obvious win. A draw wouldn't be a disaster but admittedly it is a good time to face them.

The fact Hakan is drapped in black in your sig is like serious foreshadowing

Juve to win is 2.05
Milan to win is 3.50

We aren't favourites according to bookmakers . I'll bet heavily on this one

They desperately need a win. It will be tough.Someone has to take Ronaldo's place and attackers will be motivated .I believe in our defence especially because no club in Seria A have Liverpool intensity. We have our weapons of course.Ante and Leao are in great form,and are forming great partnership, this is what competition does, every player is fighting for their place in the team.

So now no Calabria meaning Saele has to start and there isn't much back up unless Kalalu would come on and Florenzi moves up.


Adjusted:
Maignan; Florenzi, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo; Kessie, Tonali; Saelemaekers, Brahim, Lmeao; Rebic


Giroud possibly not even available for the bench.

Let milan fans think they are the favourites if it gives them endorphins
