Milan have already wiped out their eight-point penalty in three games and Carlo Ancelotti warns the Scudetto is possible.

“Here is where a long catch-up race begins, but we hope to go all the way,” said the tactician. “It is possible for us to win the Serie A title.”

The Rossoneri were docked eight points from the 2006-07 campaign as a result of the Calciopoli scandal, but with three straight wins they are already out of the minus zone, albeit nine points adrift of leaders Palermo.

“The Scudetto is not a short-term objective. This target will require time and patience. We’ll have to get over certain difficulties, but it’s clear that we are aiming for the top of the table. Here’s hoping we manage it before May. This season is an uphill struggle, but it’s not impossible.”

Their next test is at Livorno’s Stadio Picchi, where they were defeated in 2005, but won last term with a comfortable 3-0 scoreline.

“It’s a difficult arena to come away from with points, but we must try to win every match in our situation. Livorno change their system often, so I’m not sure how they’ll set out against us,” continued the former Juventus boss.

“Pippo Inzaghi rested against Parma last week, so he could play this weekend. Alessandro Nesta needs to find his match rhythm and has recovered from a muscular problem. Up until the break for international duty in October we’ll continue rotating the squad, then things will change.”
