With the Champions League spotlight shining upon the San Siro this evening, European giants Milan and Chelsea are set to face off for a second time in match-week four for the continental tournament.
Based on the previous result last week, many viewers would proclaim the London Blues to be the favourites within this fixture as they dismantled Pioli’s side in a 3-0 victory at the Stamford Bridge. In addition, Graham Potter’s side have demonstrated consistency over the weekend within the Premier League as they cruised past Wolves in yet another 3-0 victory within their home-stomping ground.
Despite the frustrating loss within the midweek against the Premier League outfits, the Rossoneri demonstrated resilience within the Serie A as Milan outclassed their bitter-rivals Juventus in a convincing 2-0 victory on Milanese soil.Â
