AC Milan vs AS Roma:
" Two Italian giants are to clash against
each other at San Siro for the Quater-Finals of this season's
Coppa Italia on Wednesday evening. Prior to this match, Milan
boss Carlo Ancelotti have mentioned that he will rest most of
his first team regulars such as Andriv Shevchenko, Rui Costa,
Pirlo, Gattuso and Brazilian wonderkid Kaka. However, Dida will
be guarding the post as number two keeper Christian Abbiati is
still injured while Alessandro Nesta might be included in the
starting eleven after recovering from his recent knee injury.
The Milan club lifted the cup after beating Roma in the finals
last season. Meanwhile, AS Roma heads to San Siro with revenge
in their mind after Milan broke their unbeaten record in the Serie-A
with a 1-2 win recently. The Rome club will also miss several
key players for this encounter with AC Milan but manager Fabio
Capello believes that his men will produce a positive result at
the end of 90 minutes. Noteable absentees in the capital club
would be Vincenzo Montella, Brazilian international Emerson, Romanian
central defender Christian Chivu and playmaker Francesco Totti.
Antonio Cassano will be serving his suspension for this match
while left back Christian Panucci remians doubtful. With so much
honours at stake, expect Roma to play an all-out attacking game
for tonight's encounter and take advantage of Milan's second-string
players. "
