AC Milan started off the new season with three wins in a row, but then lost 5-1 to Inter in the Derby della Madonnina last week, marking one of the worst performances of the recent past, and also drew to Newcastle 0-0 at San Siro in the opening game of the 2023-24 Champions League group stage. Despite creating many chances against the Magpies, Stefano Pioli's side desperately need to be back on the right track and win against Verona on Saturday. Here's what you need to know:
