Former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says AC Milan are the team to beat this season.

The Rossoneri made a slow start to the campaign, but the currently unemployed tactician has faith in the squad of Massimiliano Allegri.

"I think they are definitely the team to beat in Italy," Ancelotti told the Gazzetta dello Sport. "They have the strongest squad.

"You have to also consider the fact that they won the Scudetto last term and they are the team who have changed the least."
