Questions will always be asked of Milan when Ibrahimovic is not available, and in an important game where the team could go 5 points clear at the summit of Serie A, Rebic will be tasked with filling the void.

Fiorentina will come into the game with the knowledge that they do well in the San Siro against the red and black, with the last 2 away games bagging the Viola 6 points.

Players to Watch

Kessie

The midfield destroyer will be key to winning the middle of the park and allowing Milan to play to their strengths. With his name now also first on the Penalty takers list, I feel tonight could fall into his hands with a difficult game ahead.

Amrabat

The passing and ball holding of the playmaker will be essential to Fiorentina carving out chances for Callejon and Kouame to get involved. With the play centralising him, chances might just open up for pace and play to hurt Milans slow CB pairing.

Rebic

Milan will be relying on Rebic to lead the line and continue to create as well as find the net in the coming weeks with his return to the starting 11 now almost complete. It has been a slow start for the Croatian with injury, and he will want to score his first league goal soon.

Prediction: Milan 1–0 Fiorentina
