The Rossoneri coach could change five out of 10 players from the Derby della Madonnina, as coach Stefano Pioli gives Rafael Leao and Alexis Saelemaekers a breather.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic seems set to start up front, with Rade Krunic, Brahim and Samu Castillejo in the attacking trident behind the veteran.

Sandro Tonali should start next to Franck Kessie in the middle, with Diogo Dalot at right-back and Theo Hernandez at left.

Simon Kjaer and Alessio Romagnoli are expected to continue in the heart of the defence, ahead of Gigio Donnarumma in goal.

Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer was linked with a move to the Rossoneri during the summer and will get another chance to impress the Diavolo hierarchy tonight.

Milan loanee Diego Laxalt will meet his old teammates, as he should start in Glasgow tonight.
