The team selection could be a big decider in that sense. Two changes on the cards According to Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, Amorim is currently eyeing two changes to the eleven compared to the game against Venezia. First of all, Pervis Estupinan is ahead of Davide Bartesaghi for the left wing-back spot, having played one game each so far. Further up the pitch, Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been a big disappointment lately and he’s heading for the bench. Adrien Rabiot has done very well when coming on and he should now get the chance from the first minute, replacing the Englishman. The only battle to consider is Samuel Chukwueze against the new signing Diego Moreira, with the Nigerian ahead 60-40 as things stand. Predicted Milan XI (3-4-2-1): Maignan; Gila, De Winter, Pavlovic; Chukwueze, Modric, Musah, Estupinan; Rabiot, Cisse; Ramos. Predicted bench: P. Terracciano, Torriani, Diawara, Tomori, F. Terracciano, Bartesaghi, Moreira, Jashari, Comotto, Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic, Hutchinson, Camarda. Predicted Juventus XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi, Celik; Locatelli, Douglas Luiz; Conceicao, Nico Gonzalez, Boga; Kolo Muani. Predicted bench: Grabara, Pinsoglio, Kelly, Rugani, Gatti, Koopmeiners, Owusu, Alajbegovic, Milik, Woltemade.
