Pervis Estupinan and Adrien Rabiot should be the only changes to AC Milan’s starting eleven for the game against Juventus, according to a report.
Considering that Milan have started the season with two wins out of a possible two, one can definitely understand why Ruben Amorim wants to rely on roughly the same players from start. On the other hand, several players are knocking on the door for a starting spot.

Alexis Saelemaekers did very well off the bench last time out, and the new signing Diego Moreira is eager to show his qualities for the first time. Not to mention Francesco Camarda, who hasn’t played a single minute so far.
Consistency is key
However, as said, the priority is to get three points and Amorim feels the recent starters can help him with that against Juventus. According to Sky Italia, only two changes are expected from the manager, including Pervis Estupinan (who started in the opener) in front of Davide Bartesaghi.

The second change is Adrien Rabiot for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, which isn’t surprising at all since the Englishman was very poor both against Torino and Venezia. He’s probably not even one of the first choices off the bench now either, considering the players Milan have there.
