"The team felt the blow at the time, but over the last few days they seemed relaxed to me, " Inzaghi told reporters (per Football Italia). "We have to make up for those two lost points.

Fiorentina vs. AC Milan: Team News, Predicted Line-Ups, Live Stream & TV InfoGabriele Maltinti/Getty ImagesThe match on Monday against Fiorentina looks less than ideal for AC Milan. It pits them against a Champions League hopeful and a club competing on several fronts. Milan, meanwhile, are enduring a hard-enough time in only one campaign. These two teams are taking two different paths this season, but this meeting in Serie A is just as important to the both of them.
They had just ended Juventus' 47-game unbeaten home record, and they were playing breathtaking attacking football. Lazio hit them when they were out of breath, and a subsequent 1-1 draw at home in the Europa League against Roma only confirmed suspicions of a possible burnout. Really, there is no better pick-me-up than a game against Milan. The Rossoneri have no such excuses for their miserable form: just three wins in 2015. Injuries to starters like Nigel de Jong and Riccardo Montolivo—neither of whom made the trip to Florence—have hurt, but it is Milan's lack of belief or consistency that is truly killing them. Coach Filippo Inzaghi almost lost his job last week after his team conceded an equalizer in the final seconds of an eventual 2-2 draw versus Hellas Verona.

They could very well try out a 4-3-1-2 formation on Monday, with Keisuke Honda returning as the trequartista. Mattia Destro, who sat out the majority of the game against Verona, should also reclaim his starting position alongside Jeremy Menez, who will likely link up with Honda to give Destro support. The midfield is still a makeshift operation. It is unlikely that Sulley Muntari will start another game in the near future, considering he has cost Milan three goals in his last two appearances. Andrea Poli will also miss the game through suspension, and De Jong and Montolivo are out. Expect Giacomo Bonaventura to appear on the left of the midfield three.
