Jonty’s picks

AC Milan host AS Roma this evening in what looks like a mouth-watering Serie A battle.

Milan looked to have got off to a flyer in their opening match against Napoli on August 25, Gennaro Gattuso’s side taking a 2-0 lead away from home, but Napoli stormed back to win the match 3-2.

Roma have played a game more than Milan, a brilliant Edin Dzeko (below) volley earning them a 1-0 win over Torino, before they were held 3-3 in a thriller against Atalanta.

This match is extremely hard to call, but I am going to pick a narrow win for the home side.
