AC Milan have produced the kind of frustrating performances in recent weeks which many of their critics will claim was predictable.

Despite heading into Saturday's clash with Chievo in sixth spot, it has now been three games since the Rossoneri picked up a win in Serie A.

Frustrations were clear on Sunday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Cesena after missing countless opportunities to collect all three points.

Filippo Inzaghi has been critical of his attacking players, but may only make one change to his side, with Alex in line to replace the suspended Cristian Zapata.

Chievo have struggled to move clear of the relegation zone early in the season, and wasted another chance to record a win on Sunday as they were held to a draw by Empoli.

Eugenio Corini will be forced into one change as he looks to replace Valter Birsa, who is ineligible to play after moving to the club on loan from Milan in the summer.

Birsa's absence is likely to see Riccardo Meggiorini, who found the back of the net against Empoli, lead the line alongside Alberto Paloschi.
