The Giallorossi go into the game in good shape after recent stumbles.
“I like to play the best and transmit that feeling to my players," said Mourinho in his press conference.
“I enjoy facing the sides that play good football and are at the top of the table. That is pure motivation. I've not faced Stefano Pioli, but I will be pleased to meet him. The work he is doing has some similarities with what I'm trying to do here, and I see Milan have a strong structure with Paolo Maldini and others behind the scenes."
Mourinho confirmed he is again dropping outcasts Borja Mayoral, Amadou Diawara, Gonzalo Villar and Bryan Reynolds.
“Are you more interested in who is not in the squad rather than who is? It's the same squad as last time, except without Volpato and Missori, because the Primavera youth team needs them.
“I won't tell you who starts tomorrow, but I will say Henrikh Mkhitaryan is doing very well and I introduced Stephan El Shaarawy against Cagliari because I needed more depth.
“It won't be the exact same line-up tomorrow, but it won't be that different either. It is important to play every game feeling we can win it, and for that we need to be balanced. It might be a cliché, but it's true, to win games you need to score goals and defend well. I think we are slowly improving both those areas."
