Comments and predictions for Leeds vs AC Milan: Home team collapses

Latest Leeds vs AC Milan team information

Last week, manager Daniel Farke handed four new signings a start at Elland Road, including midfielders Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff, and several new faces will continue to feature for Leeds in Ireland.

Their attack is quite thin, with Lukas Nmecha the only striker to arrive this summer, while Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford are set to leave.

Dan James and Jack Harrison were both ruled out of the Villarreal game through injury, along with Sebastian Bournauw, Jayden Bogle and new goalkeeper Lucas Perri. It is unclear whether they will be back in time for Saturday's game, but 16-year-old Harry Gray is likely to start, continuing a family tradition.

Milan's most notable signing is talented midfielder Luka Modric, while Swiss midfielder Ardon Jashari has just moved from Club Brugge after being voted the Belgian league's Player of the Season.

Italy midfielder Samuele Ricci will also bolster a midfield that has lost mainstay Tijjani Reijnders, who has moved to Manchester City; Alvaro Morata is on his way to ambitious Como, while Malick Thiaw could be heading to England.

Always cautious, coach Allegri used a five-man defence against Premier League teams last month, and will likely continue to do so at the Aviva Stadium, with Rafael Leao spearheading the attack.

Latest football commentary Leeds vs AC Milan

A turbulent year saw Milan part ways with two Portuguese managers – Paulo Fonseca and Sergio Conceicao – winning the Italian Super Cup within a week of Conceicao’s appointment, but losing the Coppa Italia final to Bologna.

After being knocked out of the Champions League by Feyenoord and finishing 8th in Serie A, change was inevitable at Milanello. The “new” manager is none other than former coach Massimiliano Allegri.

Allegri's return comes amid a restructuring of the club's board of directors, while behind-the-scenes issues remain simmering. Therefore, Milan are forced to start the new season positively.

After friendlies in the Far East against Liverpool and Arsenal last month, Milan continued their preparations with a 9-0 win over Perth Glory; the number of Premier League sides they have now faced has increased to four.

This weekend, Milan face Leeds in Dublin and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, meaning the manager will have to rotate his squad significantly as he plays two games in less than 48 hours.

Following last season's poor results, Milan begin their domestic campaign next week, hosting Bari in the first round of the Coppa Italia; newcomers Cremonese will be their first Serie A opponents on 23 August.

Promoted back to the Premier League as Championship champions in 2024-25, Leeds started pre-season in the same form as last season.

After holding rivals Manchester United to a 0-0 draw in mid-July, Daniel Farke's team scored a total of seven goals against Verl and Paderborn during a successful training camp in Germany.

New signing Lukas Nmecha got on the scoresheet in behind closed doors, before Leeds returned home for their only friendly of the summer at Elland Road.

Last season's Championship top scorer Joel Piroe scored on his birthday in a 1-1 draw with Villarreal, helping "The Whites" move one step closer to returning to the official arena.

Before kicking off their season with a home game against Everton next weekend, Leeds will face the seven-time European champions at the Aviva Stadium.
