“We are talking about Juventus, so it is sure to be a great evening of sport. Juve are doing very well right now, they have not conceded in three games, move very well all over the field, so we must be organised and solid, as well as technically precise,” Allegri told DAZN Italia.
Rafael Leao and Pulisic remain the centre-forwards in a 3-5-2 formation, despite the difficulties shown by both strikers in this system, while Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot pull the midfield strings.

“They are fine, they are just in need of goals, and I hope that those will arrive this evening. They are players who can turn the game at any moment, but above all we need a strong performance from the whole team.”
Davide Bartesaghi is not at 100 per cent, but still manages to start for Milan, while Youssouf Fofana has also shaken off a knock in midfield.
Luciano Spalletti has shifted from three at the back to four, although Kenan Yildiz and Dusan Vlahovic are only fit for a spot on the bench.
“I expect a team that will move well, play between the lines, so we must be solid and allow as few balls as possible to go through. Juventus are strong in one-on-one situations, they always have had a good squad, and the arrival of Spalletti has just made them stronger,” concluded Allegri.
