"AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has reportedly settled on the team that he will deploy against Lazio in the Coppa Italia tonight. The cup is not a competition that has been kind to Milan, given they have not lifted is since 2002-03. At the Stadio Olimpico they will face a team that has won the competition four times since that year, and are out to avenge Saturday night's defeat in the league meeting at San Siro."
"According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Allegri will name Mike Maignan in goal with Fikayo Tomori, Koni De Winter and Strahinja Pavlovic as the three-man defence. Alexis Saelemaekers and Pervis Estupinan will be the wing-backs. Samuele Ricci and Ardon Jashari will get a chance in the midfield three, where Adrien Rabiot keeps his place. The paper believe that Ruben Loftus-Cheek will operate behind Rafael Leao. Predicted Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Ricci, Jashari, Rabiot, Estupinan; Loftus-Cheek, Leao."
AC Milan plan a 3-5-2 formation with Mike Maignan in goal and a three-man defence of Fikayo Tomori, Koni De Winter and Strahinja Pavlovic. Alexis Saelemaekers and Pervis Estupinan are deployed as wing-backs. Samuele Ricci, Ardon Jashari and Adrien Rabiot form the midfield, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek operating behind Rafael Leao in attack. Christian Pulisic returned to training and is likely to be on the bench. Zachary Athekame, Santiago Gimenez and Youssouf Fofana remain sidelined by injury. Milan have not won the Coppa Italia since 2002-03. Lazio are projected to field a 4-3-3 setup.
