AC Milan are hoping to return to winning ways in the Serie A this Saturday as they host rivals Juventus in a mouthwatering test.

Milan lost 3-0 to Chelsea in their midweek Champions League clash, while Juventus were 3-1 winners against Maccabi Haifa.

In the Serie A standings, Milan are in 5th with 17 points, four more than 7th placed Juventus.

The Rossoneri have lost just once in 24 Serie A games while Juve have failed to win their last five away games in Serie A.

Juve have picked up only 2 points from 3 Serie A away matches this season; only once in the last 40 years have they failed to win any of their first 4 on the road.
