(Reuters) - AC Milan take on fellow Italian club AS Roma in the Europa League quarter-finals, but know they face a changed team under the guidance Daniele De Rossi, manager Stefano Pioli said on Wednesday.

Milan defeated Roma twice in Serie A this season, but both wins came against sides managed by Jose Mourinho. The 3-1 loss in January led to Mourinho's dismissal and with De Rossi at the helm Roma have lost only once in 11 league games.
