Milan bring back Diego Moreira, Christian Pulisic and Luka Modric and hope to revive their fortunes against Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa, who are coming off three straight wins.

It kicks off at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris at 14.00 GMT (15.00 CET).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s five Serie A games on the Liveblog.

It remains to be seen which version of Ruben Amorim’s team will turn up today, as they lurched from a 4-2 home defeat to Bologna to winning the Derby della Madonnina against Inter, to a 2-0 Europa League loss to Ferencvaros on Thursday.

That involved a lot of squad rotation, so players like Modric, Moreira, Pulisic and Mario Gila return to the starting XI, along with Mike Maignan, who was suspended for that match.

However, Strahinja Pavlovic, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, Samuel Chukwueze, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Pietro Terracciano and Alexis Saelemaekers are still out injured, so Sankhoun Diawara is again in central defence.

Yunus Musah becomes a left-back, while Alphadjo Cisse and Pulisic support Goncalo Ramos upfront in what the official website claims is a 4-4-1-1 formation.

Genoa had a dismal start to the season, but the club stuck with coach Daniele De Rossi and that decision is paying off with three wins in a row against Venezia, Juventus and Lecce.

In fact, they’ve won four of the last five rounds, stumbling only against Roma.

The treatment table has practically completely emptied out now, giving him a full squad to choose from.

Former Milan players Junior Messias and El Shaarawy are familiar faces, the Little Pharaoh on the bench, but Milutin Osmajic has made such a strong impact since the move from Preston North End, scoring four goals in nine Serie A appearances.

Genoa have not beaten Milan since a 2-1 at San Siro in March 2020, while the most recent home victory was over a decade ago, 3-0 in October 2016.

Genoa: Bijlow; Marcandalli, Ostigard, Vasquez; Ehizibue, Traore, Wiafe, Ellertsson; Messias, Vitinha; Osmajic

Milan: Maignan; Gila, De Winter, Diawara, Musah; Moreira, Modric, Rabiot, Cisse; Pulisic; Ramos
