AC Milan
Stefano Pioli will be facing his second derby since becoming the manager of the Rossoneri.
Milan are completely a different side that Inter faced earlier this year. In fact, Pioli has led his side to an impressive run post the pandemic break, beating the likes of Lazio and Juventus in the process.
