Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to start for AC Milan

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is considering partnering Robinho up front with Zlatan Ibrahimovic for tonight's Serie A meeting with AS Roma, according to Sky Italia.

Antonio Cassano is the leading contender to drop to the bench as the reigning champions look to move back to the top of the table with three points.

Former Manchester City and Real Madrid forward Robinho has found first-team opportunities at the San Siro limited so far this season, with Cassano, Ibrahimovic and Alexandre Pato preferred in the attacking roles.

Opponents Roma are currently ninth in the table, having picked up 11 points from their opening eight matches.
