Official: Empoli vs. AC Milan starting XIs – one change from Roma win | OneFootball

Sergio Conceicao has named his starting XI for tonight’s game between AC Milan and Empoli. Contrary to reports, the manager has decided to make just one change.

The fans got to see some of the new signings in the win against Roma on Wednesday, with Joao Felix even finding the back of the net. Tonight, the Chelsea loanee will play from start and make his full debut, but the rest of the signings will have to wait.

It’s also the only change by Conceicao, starting him in place of Christian Pulisic, but it seems Milan will line up with a 4-4-2 formation tonight. That would mean having Alex Jimenez on the left, with Yunus Musah taking the step out on the right.

If it’s a 4-3-3, then Jimenez will be the right-winger with Joao Felix on the left. It’s also worth noting that Tijjani Reijnders won’t get the reported rest, which is a tad surprising given the tight schedule.

Official Milan XI (4-4-2): Maignan; Walker, Tomori, Pavlovic, Hernandez; Musah, Fofana, Reijnders, Jimenez; Abraham, Joao Felix.

Bench: Sportiello, Torriani; Bartesaghi, Gabbia, Terracciano, Thiaw; Pulisic; Camarda, Chukwueze, Gimenez, Leão, Sottil.

Predicted Empoli XI (3-4-2-1): Vasquez; De Sciglio, Marianucci, Viti; Gyasi, Grassi, Henderson, Pezzella, Cacace, Esposito; Colombo.

Bench: Seghetti, Silvestri; Fălcușan, Goglichidze, Sambia, Tosto; Bacci, Żurkowski; Brayan, Konate, Kouamé.
