• Mario Rui will replace the injured Faouzi Ghoulam at left-back.

Fantasy Football Tips
Captain Options
Lorenzo Insigne – With 17 goal-contributions (13 goals and 4 assists) in 20 games, Lorenzo Insigne has continued to impress this season. He has created 35 chances, succeeded in 44 attempted dribbles and had 30 shots on target, all from the left-wing. Insigne has 3 goals and 1 assist in his last 2 games for the club as well.
Hakan Calhanoglu – Calhanoglu has been the player that sets AC Milan’s wheels in motion. The Turkish international created 77 goal-scoring chances and has whipped an impressive 55 accurate crosses as well. He maintains an 84% pass accuracy and the Napoli defence will be on the lookout for some line breaking passes from him.
Differential Pick
Piotr Zielinski – Zielinski has been one of the best players for Napoli this season with 11 goal-contributions (6 goals and 5 assists) in 20 starts this season. He has created 34 chances and has succeeded in 46 attempted dribbles this season, playing in that number 10 role. Playing alongside lucrative players like Insigne, Politano and Mertens, Zielinski has done very well to link-up with them and will be a huge threat to the AC Milan backline. He faces a tough test in Franck Kessie but will definitely back himself to emerge successfully.
MIL vs NAP Dream11 Teams
Goalkeeper – Donnarumma
Defenders – Dalot, Hernandez, Di Lorenzo, Rui
Midfielders – Calhanoglu (VC), Zielinski, Insigne (C)
Forwards – Leao, Osimhen, Politano
Likely Winner
Despite being higher on the table than Napoli, the away side will feel like they can upset the odds in the MIL vs NAP Today Match Prediction. AC Milan made the long trip to Manchester in midweek and even though they got a good result there, Napoli has been well-rested for a week and are coming off the back of some impressive results while AC Milan has just 2 wins from their last 7 games. AC Milan also has an injury crisis that Napoli will look to capitalise on but coming out with all 3 points against the home side will not be easy.
