AC Milan welcome Lazio to the Stadio San Siro in Serie A with both sides looking to maintain their 100 percent starts to the season on Sunday night.
The international break has given Stefano Pioli and the Rossoneri time to recover some starters, namely Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Franck Kessie, though it is unlikely that the Swede will start against Lazio. Meanwhile, Sandro Tonali will keep his place ahead of Ismael Bennacer in midfield.
Maurizio Sarri will call on Serie A topscorer Ciro Immobile who will form a trident in attack with Pedro and Felipe Anderson. Manuel Lazzari will likely start from the bench after picking up an injury against Spezia.
