It will be the second duel between these two teams after their confrontation last week in London. There, the locals Chelsea won their first game in this UEFA Champions League 3-0, being far superior to the "Rossoneri", who showed a truly unknown version and far from the level they had been having.
Now they have the chance to play at home and get even for that humiliation received at Stamford Bridge. Both have 4 points, one point below sole leaders Salzburg, who defeated Dinamo Zagreb the previous Matchday and are the only undefeated in Group E. A great game awaits the fans.
AC Milan lineup
Milan have several injured players: Mike Maignan, Alessandro Florenzi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Junior Messias, Simon Kjaer, Davide Calabria and Alexis Saelemaekers.
Without a doubt, this complicates the formation of the team, which will be similar to the one that comes from beating Juventus in Serie A. Tommaso Pobega will leave midfield to allow Rade Krunic, and Theo Hernandez returns to the left back.
AC Milan starting XI: Ciprian Tatarusanu; Pierre Kalulu, Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Rade Krunic, Sandro Tonali, Ismael Bennacer; Brahim Diaz, Olivier Giroud, Rafael Leao.
Chelsea lineup
Coach Potter will be making several changes from the team that started against the Wolves this weekend. Mateo Kovacic, Reece James, Raheem Sterling, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ben Chilwell will return as starters. Wesley Fofana will finally be unavailable due to a knee injury, N'Golo Kante remains a doubt with a hamstring problem.
Chelsea probable starting XI: Kepa Arrizabalaga; Trevoh Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Kalidou Koulibaly; Reece James, Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho, Ben Chilwell; Raheem Sterling, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mason Mount.
