Team News:

• In the AC Milan side Alessandro Florenzi, Ismael Benaccer, Yunus Musah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Noah Okafor, and Alvaro Morata are out because of injuries.
• On the AS Roma side, there are no injury concerns.

Player(s) to watch:

• Rafael Leao has an 80% passing accuracy and he has 7 goal involvements. He is a treat to watch whenever he is on the pitch. His brisk pace and ability to cut in and dribble past defense have always been an important part of his game. He has truly become indispensable for his team because of his high-octane performances.
• Paulo Dybala will be high on confidence after his scintillating display against Parma. The Argentinian scored two goals in that game which helped Roma win devastatingly at the Stadio Olimpico. Dybala is a player for the bigger occasions and as such will be the man to keep an eye on.
