Massimiliano Allegri: 'Juventus match is decisive'

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has claimed that Saturday's clash against Juventus could be "decisive" in the Serie A title race.

Milan go into the match at the San Siro one point clear of their rivals in the table, having played a game more.

"Next weekend's encounter could be decisive and I expect it to be a fascinating match," Allegri told reporters.

"We have an entire week to prepare for the big game and I am confident that we will put in a great performance. If [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic is available, he will play. If not, we will find another solution."

Juventus claimed a 2-0 win over the Rossoneri in the reverse fixture back in October.
