Hoping to reset after taking just two points from their last four Serie A matches, AC Milan welcome Fiorentina to San Siro on Saturday.
While Milan have faltered, the Viola are still pursuing Italy's top four despite their own autumn woes, sitting just three points behind their hosts with nearly a third of the season played.
Juventus and city rivals Inter Milan pulled clear at the top of the standings, as Stefano Pioli's injury-hit squad suffered a series of setbacks that have partly undone their superb start to the 2023-24 season.
Just days after a crucial defeat of Paris Saint-Germain in Europe, Milan returned to domestic duty for their final fixture before the international break down at Lecce's Stadio Via del Mare, and having previously lost to Juventus and Udinese either side of a 2-2 draw with Napoli, the Rossoneri were on course for success when Olivier Giroud and Tijjani Reijnders struck before the break.
However, a second-half collapse saw them pick up only one point in the end, and only the VAR's controversial intervention denied Lecce a memorable winner deep into stoppage time.
