Two clubs in opposite halves of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between AC Milan and AS Roma. The first-division clash is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on beIN Sports.
The Stage
How far have AC Milan fallen?
The once-storied club now finds itself in the bottom half of the Serie A table with just four fixtures remaining, something goalkeeper Diego Lopez finds to be unacceptable.
"I feel as responsible as anyone else," Lopez revealed in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport (via Football Italia). "It's hard to understand for us. There are so many things wrong. We're all responsible, we must do more in training and in the match."
"Pride means we have to react. This shirt is too prestigious to accept the situation."
The In-Form Player
AS Roma's Miralem Pjanic has enjoyed a modicum of success this campaign. In 30 league appearances, the 25-year-old has five goals and nine assists.
Projected Lineups
AC Milan (4-3-3): Lopez; Antonelli, Paletta, Mexes, Abate; Poli, Jong, Ginkel; Bonaventura, Destro, Honda
AS Roma (4-3-3):Sanctis; Torosidis, Manolas, Astori, Florenzi; Nainggolan, Rossi, Pjanic; Ibarbo, Doumbia, Gervinho
