A last-gasp title win last term - made all the sweeter with it to knock Inter off their perch - means Milan are flying high once more - and they will back themselves to have a second successful crack at the Scudetto this year too.
The mid-season Qatar 2022 World Cup could throw a spanner in the works for several of their stars, but they will feel that they have the depth and resolve to ensure they come out firing on the other side as things stand.

A trip to San Siro is tough in any year, but fresh from the hosts winning the title, few will have envied Udinese when the fixture list was released, setting them up for the toughest opening fixture of all.
But the visitors will back their chances of turning up a surprise when they make the journey to Milan, and hope they can deliver a shock to the system on the road.
Predicted Udinese starting XI: Silvestri; Perez, Bijol, Masina; Soppy, Pereyra, Walace, Makengo, Udogie; Deulofeu, Success.
