They do have a few injury issues including both Alessandro Florenzi and Samu Chukwueze, whilst Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Switzerland international Noah Okafor are doubts.
Predicted XI (4-4-2): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Thiaw, Hernandez; Pulisic, Musah, Fofana, Reijnders; Alvaro Morata, Leao

Questionable: Loftus-Cheek (Injured), Okafor (Injured)
Como vs AC Milan Prediction
Como come into this one on the back of a respectable 1-1 draw with Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico at the weekend. Lazio took the lead via Boulaye Dia but Patrick Cutrone equalised for Cesc Fabregas’ side around 15 minutes after Loum Tchaouna had been sent off for Lazio. After winning the Supercoppa Italiana in his first two games in charge with come from behind victories against Juventus and Internazionale, Sergio Conceicao and his AC Milan followed that up with a frustrating 1-1 draw against Cagliari at San Siro in which Alvaro Morata’s goal was cancelled out by Nadir Zortea. Those set of results were exactly the frustration with Paulo Fonseca and his reign; big wins before frustrating results against weaker sides. Como will fancy their chances but Milan have an abundance of attackers so it could be quite a fun game for the neutral.
