San Siro: Home of AC Milan(credit:

Inter Milan coach Leonardo will keep his emotions in check when his side meet former employers AC Milan tonight.
The top two teams in Italian football are going head-to-head at the San Siro, with Milan currently holding a two-point advantage over their ‘visitors’ at the top of Serie A.
The game marks the first time Leonardo has faced his old side since replacing Rafael Benitez at the start of the year, and the Brazilian is expecting an emotional experience.
He said: “I would not change anything from the past, if I had to do everything again, I would.
“I will feel emotions because I cannot forget what I have experienced in the past, but I will keep them to myself.”
However, Leonardo insisted: “To say that this is my game is an exaggeration. It will not be my game because I don't feel as though I have to prove anything.
“I am just happy to live through this experience.”
While AC Milan will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat at Palermo, Inter Milan will be looking to make it two successive Serie A wins following a 1-0 victory over Lecce last time out.
