Both teams are in dire need of a positive result, but for different targets, as the Rossoneri want to not only keep their top six slot, but close on Atalanta and Lazio.

Milan lost to Empoli last week and face an even more difficult task with this trip to Crotone, another side desperate to stay in Serie A.

It kicks off at 14.00 UK time (13.00 GMT), follow the build-up and action from all today’s eight Serie A games on the LIVEBLOG.

Both teams are in dire need of a positive result, but for different targets, as the Rossoneri want to not only keep their top six slot, but close on Atalanta and Lazio.

Crotone have been in the bottom three all season, but notched up a spectacular run of three 2-1 victories and a 1-1 draw at Torino, fighting back to beat Sampdoria at Marassi last week.

Vincenzo Montella has to do without suspended Mattia De Sciglio and Jose Sosa, plus injured Alessio Romagnoli, Ignazio Abate and Giacomo Bonaventura.

Gianluca Lapadula is again preferred to Carlos Bacca, who must now surely be on the summer transfer market, flanked by Spaniards Suso and Gerard Deulofeu.

Manuel Locatelli gets the midfield nod with Gabriel Paletta and Leonel Vangioni in the back four.

Crotone have been very reliant on hitman Diego Falcinelli for their survival hopes and he leads the line with Marcello Trotta.

Milan have won just one of their last seven away games and only squeezed past Crotone 2-1 in December at San Siro, Lapadula’s late strike after Falcinelli had opened the scoring.

Crotone: Cordaz; Rosi, Ceccherini, Ferrari, Martella; Rohden, Barberis, Crisetig, Nalini; Trotta, Falcinelli

Milan: Donnarumma; Calabria, Cristian Zapata, Paletta, Vangioni; Kucka, Locatelli, Mati Fernandez; Suso, Lapadula, Deulofeu
