MN: Predicted Milan XI vs Monza

Fonseca to go bold with selection choices

AC Milan will be looking to make it three wins from three when they take on Monza in Serie A on Saturday.

Stefano Pioli's side have started the season in impressive form, beating Udinese and Bologna in their opening two matches.

Monza, meanwhile, have lost both of their games so far, so Milan will be confident of extending their winning run.

Pioli is expected to make a number of changes to the side that beat Bologna last time out.

Ciprian Tatarusanu is likely to replace Mike Maignan in goal, while Fikayo Tomori and Pierre Kalulu could come into the defence.

Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer are likely to start in midfield, with Brahim Diaz and Rafael Leao supporting Olivier Giroud in attack.

Alexis Saelemaekers and Theo Hernandez could also start on the wings.

Monza coach Raffaele Palladino is likely to stick with the side that lost to Napoli last time out.

Michele Di Gregorio is expected to start in goal, with Marlon, Pablo Mari and Luca Caldirola in the defence.

Stefano Sensi, Nicolo Rovella and Andrea Barberis are likely to start in midfield, with Dany Mota and Gianluca Caprari in attack.

Carlos Augusto could also start on the left wing.

The key battle in this match is likely to be between Milan's attack and Monza's defence.

Milan have a number of dangerous attacking players, including Giroud, Leao and Diaz.

Monza's defence will need to be at their best to keep them out.
