#3 Chance for Milik to prove he isn't a flat track bully

Milik hasn't scored any of the big sides in the division

Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik has been a revelation this season. Not only has he usurped Dries Mertens to become the focal point of the team's attacking vanguard, but has also struck 14 times in the league to hotly contest the race for Capocannoniere prize.

However, the downside here is that he hasn't struck even once against the big guns. Milik failed to fire against the likes of Juventus, AS Roma, Inter Milan and in both legs against AC Milan this season. Lazio is the only side from the top six that he has found the net against.

This leads us to believe he isn't really a big game player but rather just a flat track bully. However with Juventus struggling defensively, here might be a chance to erase the anomaly. The Polish forward is certain to start ahead of Mertens again, and with proper service, should put a goal or two away.
