FUN FACTS

Stefan de Vrij is the only defender in the league to have recorded at least three goals and three assists this season, with his next appearance also being his 150th in the Italian top flight. Our Nerazzurri stalwart was the star of the show in the Nerazzurri’s last outing, with his goal sparking a comeback for Antonio Conte’s side as Alessandro Bastoni, another member of our back line, headed home to secure the win with his second league goal of the season.

ANTONIO CONTE'S WORDS

"We've had little time to prepare for the match against Brescia but we know what the goal is, to play well and try and earn three points. We know it's like a mini tournament and we need to get the win."
