I’ve changed it from Cassano to Ibra.

Gareth Bale is fit apparently.

Regardless, a very good write up and consistency throughout every CL preview!

Apologies to all who were misled by my mistake including Antonio Cassano as a player to watch for AC Milan when the Italian international is in fact ineligible to play. Apologies also for including Gareth Bale as the Spurs player to watch as the Welsh winger will miss out through injury.

So here goes instead:
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will lead the AC Milan attack in the San Siro having already netted 4 times in the 6 group fixtures. Pato and Robinho are most likely to support the Swede in attack and Massimo Allegri’s will be anxious to build up a substantial lead before the second leg at White Harte Lane.

A 4-0 weekend victory over Parma has Milan 3 points clear at the top of Serie A heading into Tuesday night’s encounter where Ibrahimovic’s ability to link midfield with attack will prove crucial to the Italian’s hopes of progression.
