LATEST FROM MILANELLO
AC Milan head into this clash in fine form following a string of excellent wins. Last time out in Serie A, the Rossoneri edged past reigning champions Napoli with a hard-fought 2-1 victory: Allegri's men were sharp and clinical in the first half, before showing real discipline after being reduced to ten men. They also impressed in their most recent away match, a 3-0 win at Udinese, proving they can also deliver on the road. Both Allegri (in the dugout) and Rabiot (on the pitch) will be coming up against their former side. Ardon Jashari is unavailable, while Estupiñan is suspended. There are no players one booking away from a ban. Allegri's side appear to have struck a solid balance between attack and defence, and they head to Turin determined to keep the momentum going.

"Juventus v AC Milan is always a wonderful match. For us, it's important to take another step forward against a strong side, one that hasn't lost yet and will fight until the end for a top-four spot," said Massimiliano Allegri ahead of the game. "After eight years at Juventus, I have feelings that stay with me, but it's not about revenge. We'll need to produce a tactically intense performance. Juventus press high and play with real intensity, and they've always scored in these kinds of games. We'll have to be spot-on technically."

LATEST FROM JUVENTUS
Juventus head into this game on a ten-match unbeaten run in Serie A, the only team in the division yet to lose this season. Their most recent outing saw them draw 1-1 with Atalanta. In Europe, it's been a similar story, though with slightly disappointing results: Tudor's men have taken just two points from their opening two Champions League fixtures following a 4-4 thriller against Borussia Dortmund and a 2-2 draw with Villarreal. At the back, Bremer remains a doubt, while long-term absentees Cabal, Milik and Miretti are still sidelined. Even so, the Bianconeri boss can call on a strong and settled squad. Juve will be aiming to make home advantage count against AC Milan as they look to keep their unbeaten record intact and stay among the frontrunners in the table.

"AC Milan are a top-class side with strong players in excellent form," said Igor Tudor. "We're at home and our aim is to put in a good performance. They might have the advantage of not having played midweek, and we're fully aware of their quality, but we know our own strengths and abilities. We'll give everything to deliver a strong performance."

PRE-MATCH STATS

• The last eight Serie A meetings between Juventus and AC Milan have been evenly balanced: two wins apiece and four draws. Just eight goals have been scored in these fixtures - four each - an average of one per game.
• AC Milan come into this match with the longest current winning streak in Serie A, four on the bounce. They haven’t managed five straight league victories since April 2024, under Stefano Pioli.
• AC Milan have faced the fewest shots of any side in Serie A this season (45 across five games), while Juve have conceded just 13 shots on target - a figure bettered only by Como (12). AC Milan, by comparison, have allowed 16.
• Massimiliano Allegri is second only to Giovanni Trapattoni in terms of total matches in charge of Juventus (420). Historically, he's tended to struggle against the Bianconeri: among the sides he's faced at least ten times in Serie A, Juventus are the team against whom he holds his lowest win rate (36.4% – four wins, one draw and six defeats in eleven matches).
• Christian Pulisic is Serie A's leading scorer so far (four goals) and, together with Nico Paz, also has the most goal involvements (six, including two assists). However, the US international is yet to register either a goal or an assist in three league appearances against Juventus, one of only two clubs (alongside Roma) to keep him at bay.
