It kicks off at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Monday at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).

This is a big Scudetto battle between third and second in the Serie A standings, as both hope to close on stuttering leaders Inter.

There were some injury concerns for the Rossoneri, as Rafael Leao has been struggling with a recurring hip inflammation, while Christian Pulisic only returned on Friday after international duty with the USMNT.

Milan plan surprising changes

According to the latest reports from Sky Sport Italia, Allegri was not fully convinced by the fitness levels of either striker, as well as long-term absentee Santiago Gimenez.

With that in mind, he tested out an all-new strike partnership of Fullkrug and Nkunku in training today.

These are two players who worked with him consistently over the two weeks of international duty while so many others were away, but it remains to be seen if they will be chosen to start tomorrow.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek is also back in the squad for the first time since surgery for facial fractures in a collision with the Parma goalkeeper on February 22.

Matteo Gabbia also sustained an injury in that match and is still out of action.

Milan (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Fullkrug, Nkunku
