The Rossoneri are now the only team in Europe’s top five leagues to still be unbeaten this season, as Juventus fell 3-0 at home to Fiorentina last night.
It’s therefore a race with Inter to be leaders going into the Christmas break, with one point separating them going into this final round of 2020.
Stefano Pioli’s squad is decimated, still missing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Simon Kjaer, Matteo Gabbia, Ismael Bennacer and now also suspended Franck Kessie.
Sandro Tonali and Ante Rebic are not fully fit either, but grit their teeth to get through muscular problems and start anyway.
Rafael Leao again leads the line after his record-breaking 6.76 second goal against Sassuolo, so Rebic moves to the left of the supporting trio.
Lazio are fresh from a 2-0 victory over Napoli, which put them back into contention for a top four finish, but they too are missing some big players.
Francesco Acerbi, Lucas Leiva, Marco Parolo, Mohamed Fares and Senad Lulic are out of action, although Joaquin Correa does return to the starting XI.
Ciro Immobile, Luis Alberto and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic bring the quality, with Gonzalo Escalante settling into his midfield spot.
Pepe Reina returns to San Siro against his former club, even if he made relatively few appearances for the Diavolo.
Milan: G Donnarumma; Calabria, Kalulu, Romagnoli, Theo Hernandez; Krunic, Tonali; Saelemaekers, Calhanoglu, Rebic; Leao
Lazio: Reina; Patric, Luiz Felipe, Radu; Lazzari, S Milinkovic-Savic, Escalante, Luis Alberto, Marusic; Correa, Immobile
