Milan will start with Tammy Abraham, Rafael Leao and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia against Sassuolo.

It starts at 8pm GMT in San Siro.

You can follow the entire build-up and action in the live blog.

The winners of this clash will face either Roma or Sampdoria in the quarter-finals of the competition.

There is no overtime at this point in the tournament. So if they are level after 90 minutes, it will go straight to penalties.

Milan have just secured a comfortable victory over Empoli, but are also changing their squad with numerous players missing.

These include Mike Maignan, who had a dentist appointment, Theo Hernandez, Luka Jovic, Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi.

The only regular first team players are Rafael Leao, Tijjani Reijnders and Youssouf Fofana.

Despite playing in Serie B this season, Sassuolo is notoriously a bugbear for Milan, having drawn 3-3 in their last meeting and winning three of their last four visits to the San Siro in Serie A.

Matteo Lovato is on the absent list for the current Serie B leaders, who are three points clear at the top of the table.

The Neroverdi won their last four games without conceding a single goal and reached this stage of the Coppa Italia by beating Cittadella 2-1 and Lecce 2-0.

Star player Domenico Berardi is on the bench, but former Italy U21 international Samuele Mulattieri is leading the attack.
