Pulisic & Leao Lead Milan's Charge in Serie A Clash
8 Jan
Summary
- Leao and Pulisic start together for just second time this season.
- Milan aims for three points to widen lead over third place.
- Genoa enters match winless in last four league encounters.
AC Milan prepares to face Genoa at San Siro in the final Serie A fixture of the 19th round. Star attackers Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic are set to lead the line together, a partnership that has only materialized once previously this season in a notable victory over Inter Milan. Their combined presence aims to secure a crucial three points for Milan.
A victory for the Rossoneri would place them three points ahead of third-placed Napoli and within one point of league leaders Inter. Meanwhile, Genoa enters the match on a challenging run, having not secured a win in their last four league games. Despite their current form, Genoa is not at risk of dropping into the bottom three following this fixture.
The confirmed lineups show Milan opting for a 3-5-2 formation featuring Maignan in goal and Pulisic alongside Leao upfront. Genoa also adopts a 3-5-2, with former Milan loanee Lorenzo Colombo leading their attack alongside Vitinha. Kick-off is scheduled for 17:45 GMT on Thursday.
