This is a surprisingly important head-to-head for position, as only four points separate the two clubs going in to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

A victory would put Gennaro Gattuso’s men within a point of third-placed Inter, breaking three clear of Lazio in fifth.

However, if Toro get their first win away to Milan since 1985, then they’ll climb to 24 points, just one behind Milan and Lazio.

Gattuso continues to deal with a huge injury crisis, as Fabio Borini was the latest addition suffering from an ankle problem in training yesterday.

He joins Alessio Romagnoli, Mateo Musacchio, Mattia Caldara, Lucas Biglia and Giacomo Bonaventura, so Ignazio Abate is again used at centre-back rather than his usual right-back role.

The big difference is the return of Higuain from a two-match ban, imposed for his furious reaction towards the referee in a defeat to Juventus.

Pipita is partnered by young talent Patrick Cutrone, who just finished seventh in the new Kopa Trophy, a Ballon d’Or for Under-21 players.

Torino have a full squad to choose from and Coach Walter Mazzarri back in business after his recent health scare.

Ola Aina is preferred to Lorenzo De Silvestri on the right flank, with Iago Falque supporting Andrea Belotti.

Milan are unbeaten in their last 21 Serie A matches against Torino – they have won 11 and drawn 10 in that time.

There will be a minute’s silence before kick-off and both teams wear black armbands for Gigi Radice, who died on Friday at the age of 83.

He spent most of his playing career with Milan, in the squad that won the Scudetto and European Cup, then became the last Coach to seal the Serie A title for Torino in 1976.
