Milan and Lazio face off again in the Coppa Italia quarter-final tonight and it could be Pippo Inzaghi’s last chance.
It kicks off at San Siro at 19.45 GMT and comes just days after the Rossoneri were beaten 3-1 at the Stadio Olimpico in a Serie A fixture.
There are strong reports that Inzaghi will be sacked if he loses this game, which is a one-off for qualification into the Coppa Italia semi-final against Roma or Inter.

If the result is not decided after 90 minutes, it will go to extra time and even penalties.
Both sides have huge injury problems to contend with, as Nigel de Jong is a late addition to the Milan list alongside Mattia De Sciglio, Daniele Bonera, Cristian Zapata, Giacomo Bonaventura and Stephan El Shaarawy.
Philippe Mexes is also dropped after he physically attacked Lazio captain Stefano Mauri on Saturday, actions that earned him a four-match Serie A ban.
Alessio Cerci therefore starts with Giampaolo Pazzini and Jeremy Menez.
Keisuke Honda, who only arrived back yesterday from Asian Cup duty with Japan, is on the bench along with Suso.
Lazio are on sparkling form recently, but miss Filip Djordjevic, who underwent surgery today on a fractured ankle.
Also unavailable are Stefan de Vrij, Senad Lulic, Michael Ciani, Santiago Gentiletti, Edson Braafheid and Pedro Luis Cavanda.
Miroslav Klose and Marco Parolo were on target at the weekend and start here again, while Mauricio is given his full debut in central defence.
Milan: Abbiati; Abate, Alex, Rami, Albertazzi; Poli, Montolivo, Muntari; Cerci, Pazzini, Menez
