Milan give Gianluca Lapadula, Jose Sosa and Mario Pasalic chances to shine and consolidate second place against bottom of the table Crotone.

It kicks off at 11.30 GMT, follow the build-up and action from all six of today’s Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The Rossoneri are without Carlos Bacca, Giacomo Bonaventura, Mati Fernandez, Davide Calabria and Riccardo Montolivo.

Juraj Kucka is also rested, as he’s one yellow card away from suspension and next week it’s Roma-Milan.

Gabriel Paletta returns to partner Alessio Romagnoli in central defence and Lapadula leads the attack with Suso and M’Baye Niang.

The main changes are in midfield, where Pasalic and Sosa get rare starts.

Crotone are bottom of the table, but at least are now on a par with Palermo.

Aleksandar Tonev, Djamel Mesbah and Claiton Dos Santos are out of action, so Bruno Martella comes in at left-back.

Adrian Stoian completes the trident attack with Sassuolo loan strikers Diego Falcinelli and Marcello Trotta.

These two sides only faced off once before, the Coppa Italia Fourth Round in December 2015. It was 1-1 after 90 minutes, but the Rossoneri eventually grabbed a 3-1 victory in extra time.

Coaches Vincenzo Montella and Davide Nicola used to play together in Serie B with Genoa and remain firm friends.

Milan are wearing a special shirt with the Chapecoense badge and these jerseys will be put up for auction after the game to raise funds for the stricken Brazilian club.
