AC Milan defender Luca Antonini is looking for revenge when his side host Udinese on Friday.

The visitors have already beaten Milan twice this season, recently knocking the Rossoneri out of the Coppa Italia by a 1-0 scoreline.

"Udinese are a tough opponent, as they proved earlier in the season and in the Coppa Italia," he revealed to Milan Channel.

"They will come to San Siro to defend and then create danger on the counter-attack, but it's time for us to win and bring ourselves back into the league race. We can't lose more points.

"We are aware of the strength of our opponents, but we will play as we know how and forget the last cup game we had against them. At San Siro on Friday it will be a different story."

The two sides face off on Friday, in order to give Milan extra time to prepare for their Champions League first-leg clash against Manchester United the following Tuesday.
