  • Official: AC Milan vs. Parma starting XIs


    AC Milan resume their Serie A campaign in Sunday’s early kick-off, welcoming Parma to San Siro hoping to avenge defeat in the reverse fixture.

    With Juventus having lost last night and with Lazio playing Fiorentina later on (plus Bologna drawing with Empoli), the door has opened again for Milan to gain ground in the top four race.

    However, they have previously failed to take advantage of this situation multiple times this season already, so Sergio Conceicao will be looking for the right signs after the Girona win in midweek.

    The official starting XIs

    In terms of injury news, Milan will be without Emerson Royal – who should miss 8-12 weeks – plus Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Malick Thiaw and Alessando Florenzi. Noah Okafor, Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze boost the forward options though.

    There are two changes from the XI that beat Girona in the Champions League and one comes on the right side of the attack, where Pulisic gets the nod. He will have Alvaro Morata and Rafael Leao to his left.

    The midfield trio will be Youssouf Fofana, Yunus Musah and Tijjani Reijnders, with the American replacing Ismael Bennacer. The Frenchman must be careful though: he is one booking away from a one-game Serie A suspension, and the next league game is the derby.

    Mike Maignan will have a back four of Davide Calabria, Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez ahead of him, the rearguard that basically kept a clean sheet on Wednesday given that Emerson was forced off.

    Official Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Theo Hernandez; Fofana, Musah; Pulisic, Reijnders, Leao; Morata.

    Bench: Sportiello, Bennacer, Jovic, Okafor, Zeroli, Jimenez, Chukwueze, Tomori, Bartesaghi, Terracciano, Camarda, Abraham.

    Official Parma XI (4-2-3-1): Suzuki; Delprato, Vogliacco, Valenti, Valeri, Hernani, Sohm, Man, Cancellieri, Mihaila, Djuric.

    Bench: Corvi, Moretta, Estevez, Almqvist, Keita, Ondrejka, Lovik, Hainaut, Camara, Leoni, Haj, Trabucchi, Plicco.



    AC Milan and Parma have announced their starting XIs for their upcoming match. Here are the official lineups:

    AC Milan:
    1. Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK)
    2. Davide Calabria
    3. Simon Kjaer

  • Official: AC Milan vs. Girona starting XIs


    AC Milan are in Champions League action in front of their own fans tonight as they hope to extend their winning streak to five games against Girona.

    Milan have surged up the table after they lost their first two games, beating Club Brugge, Real Madrid, Red Star and Slovan Bratislava to give them a real shot at a top eight finish.

    However, they face a Girona side that caused issues for virtually everyone they faced during a brilliant 2023-24 LaLiga campaign, even if they have lost five of six in the Champions League thus far.

    The official line-ups

    There is a list of absences for Conceicao to deal with. Fikayo Tomori is suspended, Alessandro Florenzi, Samuel Chukwueze, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Malick Thiaw are out due to injury, while Alex Jimenez and Luka Jovic are not in the squad.

    The Portuguese coach has appealed for the fans to get behind the team, which starts with Alvaro Morata leading the line, a man who has four goals against Girona in six meetings, including a hat-trick last season.

    He will be flanked by Rafael Leao on the left wing and Yunus Musah on the right wing, while the midfield trio of Ismael Bennacer, Tijjani Reijnders and Youssouf Fofana remains from the Juventus game.

    The back four consists of Emerson Royal, Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic and Theo Hernandez in front of Mike Maignan, with the Brazilian full-back potentially playing his last game based on the rumours circulating.

    Official Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Emerson, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Theo; Bennacer, Fofana, Reijnders; Musah, Morata, Leao.

    Bench: Sportiello, Torriani, Calabria, Pulisic, Okafor, Zeroli, Bartesaghi, Terracciano, Camarda, Abraham.

    Official Girona XI (4-3-3): Gazzaniga, Francés, David Lopez, Krejci, Blind; Oriol Romeu, Van de Beek, Herrera; Tsygankov, Abel Ruiz, Bryan Gil.

    Bench: Pau Lopez, Arnau Martinez, Stuani, Asprilla, Danjuma, Juanpe, Solis, Martin, Portu, Selvi Clua, Artero.



    Tonight’s pre-season friendly between AC Milan and Girona FC is set to kick off in just a few hours, and the official starting XIs have been confirmed. Here’s how both teams will line up:

    The starting line-ups are in from the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City welcome West Ham on Saturday afternoon.

    Defensive trio Ederson, Rúben Dias and John Stones all remained sidelined with fitness issues for Pep Guardiola’s side, although Phil Foden starts.

    Tomáš Souček and Guido Rodríguez (who is on the bench) are back from suspension for the Hammers, who are of course dealing without long-term absentee Jarrod Bowen after he sustained a bone fracture.

    Prior to kick-off, the champions are in sixth, while West Ham occupy 13th place.

    No Rashford once more! Wolves and Man Utd name starting XI’s


    Wolves welcome Manchester United to Molineux as part of the Premier League’s Boxing Day madness, with new boss Vítor Pereira locking horns with compatriot Ruben Amorim.

    Pereira banked a debut win over Leicester City after taking over from Gary O’Neil and will look to potentially pull Wolves out of the bottom three with a win in front of home support.

    Amorim and his Red Devils will be hopeful of discovering any amount of consistency as he comes to grips with the task at hand as United come into today’s meeting sitting fourteenth in the table.

    Here’s how the two sides will look for today’s meeting.

    Pereira once again calls upon the attacking trio of Matheus Cunha, Jørgen Strand Larsen, and Gonçalo Guedes to hopefully fire them to a result today.

    As for Man Utd, Marcus Rashford was once again left out by Amorim as his future at Man Utd remains in doubt.

    Meanwhile, Wolves have also named a strong lineup, with the likes of Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore leading the line for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
