AC Milan will make the short trip to take on Como tonight, with Massimiliano Allegri facing off against Cesc Fabregas, his opposite number in more ways than one. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write, the fixture list in the end decided that Como and Milan would face each other twice in just over a month. The first meeting was postponed because of the Supercoppa Italiana, and the reverse will be moved because of the Winter Olympic Games.
Rival managers Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Stephen Kenny demonstrate different styles and approaches in their respective football environments, highlighting contrasting philosophies on the pitch.
