Lazio enters this match with several notable players sidelined, including Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Adam Marusic, Nicolò Rovella, Danilo Cataldi, and Luca Pellegrini.

According to reliable sources such as Gazzetta and Sky, Milan is expected to field Yunus Musah and Luka Modric in central midfield, with Cissé returning to the starting lineup after his impactful performance as a substitute against Juventus last weekend. Lazio’s coach, Gennaro Gattuso, a former Milan legend, is anticipated to maintain the same starting eleven that triumphed over Udinese, featuring four Italian players: Romano Floriani Mussolini, Davide Frattesi, Zaccagni, and Pinamonti. The match will be broadcast on DAZN in the UK and Ireland, and on Paramount+ in the USA, with Football Italia providing live updates through a dedicated blog.
