AC Milan will host AS Roma at the San Siro in Serie A on Sunday, looking to extend their unbeaten run to five games and keep the heat on leaders Napoli.
Since losing 2-1 to Torino in October, the Rossoneri have won three of their next four games and drawn once. They remain in second place with 36 points in 16 games, five behind the Partenopei.
Stefano Pioli's side lifted the Scudetto last season, their first win in the competition in 11 years. They're now aiming to retain their title for the first time since the 1993-94 season.

AC Milan vs AS Roma Prediction
Milan have continued from where they left last season and have generally looked solid.
Roma, though, have been erratic. Unlike previous years, where defensive issues had held them back, it's their misfiring attack plaguing them now, having scored only 19 times in 16 games.
The Rossoneri shouldn't have issues defending against Roma and secure all three points, albeit narrowly.
