AC Milan will be looking to climb to the top of the Serie A standings when they take on Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium on Saturday.
Milan are unbeaten in five matches, ever since their 5-1 loss against title rivals Inter in mid-September. That defeat may not have cost them much though, as they are tied on 18 points at the top of the standings after seven rounds.
They are up against the newly-promoted Genoa for whom wins have been hard to come by so far. They have only managed two wins from their seven matches and it will be an uphill task for them to snatch anything away from Milan.
