Preview: AC Milan vs. Torino

AC Milan vs. Torino

AC Milan will be looking to keep hold of third place in Serie A when they welcome Torino to the San Siro on Sunday.

Milan have won just one of their last four fixtures which has allowed the sides below in the table to close the gap. They currently hold on to the last Champions League qualification place by one point.

Massimiliano Allegri's side had a scare last weekend when they fell behind twice at home to Catania, before running out 4-2 winners.

Torino are in need of points to ease their relegation fears. Last weekend's 2-0 defeat to leaders Juventus leaves them four points clear of the bottom three with four games remaining. The defeat was their third in succession.

Milan striker Bojan is expected to miss out after suffering a thigh injury this week. Defender Cristian Zapata could return after missing out against Catania due to suspension.

For the visitors, Giuseppe Vives and Matteo Darmian are available for selection after serving their suspensions against Juventus. Rolando Bianchi may also return up front.
