Preview: AC Milan vs. Lazio

AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi will be hoping that his team can show immediate improvements at the start of the domestic season after a dismal pre-season campaign.

I Rossoneri suffered defeats in their final four friendlies as they look to better their eighth-place effort in Serie A last year.

Summer signings Diego Lopez, Pablo Armero and Adil Rami could feature in the starting lineup at the San Siro.

It has been a summer of change at Lazio after Stefano Pioli was installed as the club's new manager, with Edoardo Reja only leading the Rome-based side to ninth place last season.

Pioli is likely to hand starts to a number of his team's new additions, with Stefan de Vrij, Dusan Basta and Marco Parolo all likely to feature in Milan.

Lazio prepared for the start of Serie A with a 7-0 victory over Bassono Virtus in the Coppa Italia.
