Milan coach Leonardo is confident his side can turn around their stuttering form when they take on promoted side Bari at the San Siro tomorrow evening.
Their 1-0 defeat to Udinese in midweek meant the club dropped to 11th in the Serie A standings with just seven points collected in five games. Lack of goalscoring has hindered the Rossoneri, who have struck just three times this campaign.
"What we are missing is the final touch," said Leonardo.
"We must work on movements, on our speed regarding the final manoeuvre. I am confident because we control possession and the players are well positioned on the pitch.
"It's early days regarding the standings, so the problem is not how many points we have collected after five games but that we must start scoring more."
The Rossoneri will be put to test as Bari have one of the best defensive lines in the competition, having given away four goals.
Unbeaten Inter, who are six points clear of Milan, go into today's clash at Sampdoria inspired by their midweek triumph over Napoli.
The Nerazzurri won 3-1 and now lead the standings along with Juve on 13 points. Inter welcome back coach Jose Mourinho, who served a touchline ban on Wednesday.
Juventus, who could not go beyond a 2-2 draw away to Genoa on Thursday, will be bolstered by the return of Diego and Alessandro del Piero for tomorrow's game against Bologna.
Both players have recovered from their respective injuries that saw them miss their team's last two encounters.
Red-hot Parma look to make it three wins in a row when they take on Chievo at the Tardini stadium.
The Ducale club are currently fifth in the standings having collected 10 points out of a possible 15 since gaining promotion to the top flight in summer.
Napoli seek home comfort when they host Siena, with the Partenopei having lost all of their three games on the road this campaign while they remain unbeaten at the San Paolo stadium.
Udinese will rely on in-form striker Antonio di Natale to again come up with the goods when they welcome Genoa to Friuli this weekend.
Serie A's top scorer Di Natale took his tally to seven for the season by scoring the only goal of the game against Milan on Wednesday.
Lazio coach Davide Ballardini takes on his former club Palermo when the two sides meet at Rome's Stadio Olimpico this weekend.
Ballardini guided Palermo to an eighth-placed finish last season before joining Lazio this summer.

Bottom side Atalanta will be desperate to end their winless run on the road when they travel to Verona to meet Chievo. The Bergamaschi have not won on their travels since April 26 when they edged Lazio 1-0 in Rome.
