AC Milan will welcome Sassuolo on Sunday to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the Serie A as they push to maintain the top position on the league table.
The Rossoneri have been in good form of late, having secured three wins, one draw and one loss in their last five games in all competitions. They returned to winning ways last weekend following a 3-2 away win over Torino, a result that took them to the top of the league standings.
On the other hand, the Neroverdi have not had a steady run of form, with two wins, two losses and one draw in their last five games. They also got back to winning ways last weekend after defeating a struggling Fiorentina side 3-1, giving them a boost ahead of their next game.

AC Milan preview: Fresh setbacks force changes in attack
Milan face new selection concerns as Rafael Leao has picked up a minor muscular injury, prompting Allegri to adjust his attacking setup for this match. With top scorer Christian Pulisic now fully recovered from illness, the USA forward is expected to partner with Christopher Nkunku, especially with Santiago Gimenez still unavailable.
Pulisic has been in exceptional form, averaging a Serie A goal every 64 minutes this season. Elsewhere, Milan’s midfield and wing-back options are also affected. Youssouf Fofana is dealing with an adductor issue, while young wing-back Zachary Athekame remains sidelined by a calf strain.
Predicted lineup: Maignan (GK), Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi, Pulisic & Nkunku

The visitors continue to struggle with a lengthy list of absentees, as Aster Vranckx, Daniel Boloca, Filippo Romagna, Edoardo Pieragnolo, Stefano Turati, Laurs Skjellerup and Yeferson Paz are all unavailable.

Player to watch: Christian Pulisic
Christian Pulisic is the key player to watch in these games, having been the team's most consistent attacker. The American international is currently in superb form, recently netting a decisive brace off the bench against Torino.
This season, Pulisic has secured seven goals and provided two assists in the league, showcasing his importance in the final third. His quality, finishing ability and recent scoring form will be essential in ensuring the home side gets a win.
