"They (Anderlecht) are aggressive at home. They won't just close up. It will be a different kind of match from the ones we're are used to," Ancelotti told La Gazzetta dello Sport's Web site on Monday ahead of Tuesday's Group H game.

Anderlecht might even fancy their chances of upsetting Milan, who have recently struggled to find their best form. The six-times European champions arrive in Belgium on the back of four consecutive draws - including the Lille game - a sequence which has caused the club to slip 10 points behind Serie A leaders Inter Milan.

Their strikers have not scored since Filippo Inzaghi hit the target in the 3-0 win over AEK Athens in their Champions League opener more than a month ago.

The goal drought has prompted Italian media to lament the departure of Andriy Shevchenko and criticise Italian international Alberto Gilardino, who has yet to score for the club this season.

Ancelotti, however, said that no one player was to blame. "I'm not interested in pointing the finger, only in sorting out the problem, and to do that we need to work together," he said.

"Our problems are all down to the speed we are playing at. We have to play faster and make sure we use the whole pitch - bring our wingers into play more often."
