There is a difference in quality, but the gap isn't too big. We'll have to be focused and composed and occupy the spaces well."

An attacking front four is predicted by the paper, with Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud returning to their respective positions and Charles De Ketelaere down as the playmaker, with Ante Rebic tipped to start on the right wing for only the second time ever under Pioli at Milan. Ciprian Tatarusanu should be in goal with Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjaer, Matteo Gabbia and Theo Hernandez as the back four from right to left, and a ‘first choice’ double pivot of Ismael Bennacer and Sandro Tonali ahead of them.

Leao (7): Created the second goal all by himself and also ‘assisted’ the own-goal after a nice run. Rebic (6): Certainly not his finest performance with a lot of rocky moves but he improved a little as the game went on.

Always followed his man closely and won the duels as well, which was nice to see. Stopped the strikers with ease and also showed off his passing a few times.
