According to several sources, Milan coach Ruben Amorim will switch to a four-man defence, as he did against Lecce before the break, using Mario Gila at right-back and Diego Moreira on the left flank.

Christian Pulisic will start as an attacking midfielder, with Gonçalo Ramos as the sole striker.

Luka Modric might rest, making room for Yunus Musah in central midfield.

Alexis Saelemaekers and second-choice keeper Pietro Terracciano are unavailable for the Rossoneri.

Sassuolo, meanwhile, will look to Italy pair Berardi and Sebastiano Esposito. The latter made his Azzurri debut during the latest international break, starting away games against Turkiye and France.

Jay Idzes is injured, so Duje Ćaleta-Car is tipped to start at centre-back. According to Gazzetta, Vasilje Adzic will start in Sassuolo’s three-man midfield, while Sky reports that Luca Lipani will get the nod in the middle of the park for the home side.

DAZN will broadcast the match in the UK and Ireland, and Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide live updates via a live blog, starting this morning with Como-Roma.
