Milan in crisis misses Christian Pulisic, so Santiago Giménez accompanies Rafael Leao up front against Atalanta’s Giacomo Raspadori and Charles De Ketelaere.
It starts at San Siro at 7:45 PM UK time (8:45 PM CEST).
You can follow all the build-up and action from today’s Serie A matches on the Liveblog.
The Rossoneri are in trouble after a run of just seven points in as many rounds, and with Juventus winning last night in Lecce, anything less than a win here will see Milan drop to fourth place.
Even the Champions League is far from safe and fans are planning a protest against chief executive Giorgio Furlani.

It had been reported that Leao would be ruled out, but with Pulisic withdrawing this morning with a glute strain, the Portuguese international accompanies Giménez, who is making his first start since October 28.
Curiously, it was also against Atalanta, a 1-1 draw in Bergamo.

Luka Modric is injured for the rest of the season, while Fikayo Tomori does not have a one-match suspension, leaving Koni De Winter in the bottom three.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Samuele Ricci try to shore up the midfield with Adrien Rabiot.
Atalanta is also struggling and practically out of the race for European qualification after just two points in its last four Serie A games, in addition to the elimination in the Coppa Italia semi-finals against Lazio.
Lorenzo Bernasconi is out for the rest of the season, but Raspadori forces his way into the starting XI with former Milan flop De Ketelaere, who has shown what he can do in Bergamo.
The initial choice is always between Gianluca Scamacca and Nikola Krstovic.
