AC Milan will continue their push for the Champions League places and look to strike a blow on a fierce rival when they take on Juventus.
Milan and Juve have already played each other twice this season including at the beginning of the month. It was Sergio Conceicao’s first game in charge and the Rossoneri came from behind in the second half to win 2-1 and reach the Supercoppa Italiana final.
Sergio Conceicao gave an interesting press conference on the eve of the game in which he admitted that the team are not quite where he would like currently, but a win at the Allianz Stadium would certainly help belief, confidence and the top four push.

As expected, this morning’s newspapers are aware of the magnitude of the game, with Juve still unbeaten in the league at present.
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Milan, here’s Walker. The Man City ace is arriving, now Joao Felix. The defender, 34, will be the first coup. So many trophies with Pep. Rashford deal collapses, now the Portuguese is in pole.”
Corriere dello Sport: “The guillotine. Juve-Milan, in or out. Kolo Muani issue, Cambiaso at a crossroads. Yildiz challenges Leao. Vlahovic is back. Thiago remains without a striker for now. Ibra has an agreement with Walker.”
Tuttosport: “Cambiaso, Milan and the City. The full-back plays at 18:00, then he’ll wait for news from Manchester. Mega 65m bid incoming. A sale would allow Giuntoli to try the Tomori coup, a rival today. Motta-Conceiçao: Champions League play-off. No Rashford? Milan pounce on Walker, Joao Felix for the attack.”
QS: “Champions League face to face. At 18:00 Juve-Milan, between transfer market intrigues and European dreams.”
