Stefano Pioli saw his side come up shy of rivals Inter last term in the race for the Scudetto and they remain in the shadow of them once more this term.
But the gap remains a small one and the Rossoneri boss will be fully aware that he can trim it with some well-placed results - as long as his star men do not slip up as they see in the new year.
Predicted AC Milan starting XI: Maignan; Florenzi, Tomori, Romagnoli, Hernandez; Bakayoko, Tonali; Messias, Diaz, Saelemaekers; Ibrahimovic.
| Position | Roma roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Patricio, Boer, Mastrantonio, Fuzato |

| Forwards | Abraham, Perez, Shomurodov, Mayoral, Zalewski, Afena-Gyan, Persson, El Shaarawy |
Jose Mourinho certainly knows his way to a win at San Siro, having led Inter here over a decade ago, and he'll know that his Roma team could definitely do with something of a minor upset to deliver on their European promise
But he'll have to take out his hosts to get that, setting up a tough task at hand for the Giallorossi as they welcome 2022.
Predicted Roma starting XI: Patricio; Kumbulla, Mancini, Ibanez; Karsdorp, Veretout, Cristante, Pellegrini, Vina; Zaniolo, Abraham.
