Christian Pulisic and Christopher Nkuku lead the Milan attack in a home game against Hellas Verona, who look to Daniel Mosquera up front.
It kicks off at 12:30 CET (11:30 GMT) at the Stadio Meazza in San Siro, Milan.
You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games on the Liveblog.
The Rossoneri are without Rafael Leao, Santiago Gimenez and Matteo Gabbia, so Pulisic and Nkunku start in attack, and Koni De Winter gets the nod in central defence.
A victory would temporarily allow Milan to overtake city rivals Inter at the top of the Serie A table, but the Rossoneri have been struggling against teams in the bottom half of the table this season, collecting just two points in three home games against Cremonese, Sassuolo and Pisa.
Massimiliano Allegri’s team remains unbeaten in the last 14 league games, while Verona have collected two consecutive wins, their only ones in Serie A this season, before this fixture.
