Milan return Alvaro Morata and Rafael Leao to the starting lineup in a must-win game against an Empoli side with injury problems.

It starts at 5pm GMT in San Siro.

You can follow all the build-up and action from these games, Como-Monza and Bologna-Venezia, in the live blog.

The Rossoneri have just secured a Champions League win against Slovan Bratislava, although the 3-2 result was more complicated than perhaps necessary.

Morata was suspended for this game and Leao came off the bench to score, but both are back in the starting lineup here.

Luka Jovic, Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi are missing due to long-term injuries, while Christian Pulisic has recovered from a knock.

Milan are under pressure to win here as they were sent off after a bitter 0-0 draw with Juventus and are trailing by two stalemate in Serie A.

Noah Okafor is suffering from flu symptoms and Yunus Musah has a role in the supporting trio again.

Empoli are unbeaten in three games and sit comfortably in mid-table on 16 points, just three points behind Milan, although the Rossoneri still have a game in hand.

Nicolas Haas underwent surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee and sat on the treatment table alongside Mattia De Sciglio, Alberto Grassi, Saba Sazonov, Jacopo Fazzini, Tyronne Ebuehi and Szymon Zurkowski.

Former Milan players in the squad include Lorenzo Colombo and goalkeeper Devis Vasquez, but they will have to fill the midfield.
