Spezia prepare for Milan's visit on the back of a morale-boosting 2-1 win away to Sassuolo which moved
Aquilotti six points clear of the relegation zone.
The
Rossoneri brushed aside bottom-placed Crotone 4-0 in their most recent league match to remain at the summit of the Serie A standings.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored his 500th and 501st club goal in victory over Crotone and is showing no signs of slowing down just yet, despite celebrating his 40th birthday later this year.
“It’s hard for me to be surprised by what Ibra is doing because he’s a champion,” said Milan head coach Stefano Pioli.
“It’s difficult to maintain what he is doing, because he scores two goals every time he plays. That’s Ibra. He has helped us so much and is helping the team to grow.
“He is a hugely motivated athlete, who takes care of his physique in a scrupulous manner, perfect with everything: his nutrition, his recovery, his prevention.
“Clearly, to stay at these levels you must be an exceptional professional supported by a physique that few people have.
“He’s always the first to arrive at training but now the others are competing over who gets there first and leaves last," Pioli added.

When the two teams met in Milan earlier this season, Rafael Leão scored a second-half brace in a 3-0 win for the hosts at San Siro.
