(Reuters) - After a decade of underperforming in Serie A, AC Milan look primed to finally mount a serious title tilt this season but those aspirations for glory will face a stern test against Jose Mourinho's AS Roma on Sunday.

The years that followed the Italian giants' last Scudetto in 2011 have not been kind. Milan finished between fifth and 10th in the standings each season between 2013-2014 and 2019-2020, before impressing under Stefano Pioli last term to take second place.
