AC Milan look to keep pressure on city rivals
Saturday, 9 January 2010
ROME, Jan 8 (AFP): A revitalised AC Milan side will be looking to keep some pressure on city rivals and Serie A leaders Inter Milan when they travel to third-placed Juventus Sunday in a match that neither side can really afford to lose if they are to have any aspirations to wrest the title from Inter.
While Inter should pick up another three points at home to bottom-placed Siena Saturday, AC Milan will be keen to keep up the momentum even if they trail the leaders by eight points, though, they have a game in hand.
AC Milan coach Leonardo was under pressure earlier in the season after an uninspiring start to the campaign but his side have suddenly shown a flair and more importantly a winning mentality to turn around their season and look the likeliest club to give Jose Mourinho's Inter a run for their money.
