DECEMBER, A FIREY WINTER

The Rossoneri are in action away more than they are at home, and their goal will be to stay as high as possible in the table until the break. They host Parma and Lazio - in the big match at Christmas - and travel to the Luigi Ferraris twice. Then, there's also the tricky tie against Sassuolo. The details:
