The Rossoneri slipped down to sixth place after a dismal run of results, which saw them fail to score in four consecutive Serie A rounds for the first time since 1984.

Gonzalo Higuain is without a goal in eight competitive games and is desperate to end his drought.

There is a boost from news Suso is back in the starting XI despite a recurring pelvic inflammation.

He plays with Gonzalo Higuain and Samu Castillejo, moving Hakan Calhanoglu to midfield again, and Patrick Cutrone to the bench.

Still on the long-term absentee list are Fabio Borini, Lucas Biglia, Andrea Bertolacci, Giacomo Bonaventura and Mattia Caldara.

Davide Calabria is surprisingly dropped in favour of Ignazio Abate at right-back.

SPAL are forced to do without their star man Lazzari, as the Italy international winger has a sprained ankle, so Lorenzo Dickmann takes over on the right flank.

Jasmin Kurtic returns from suspension, with Mirco Antenucci partnering Andrea Petagna in a 4-4-2 formation, but Yohan Djourou is out of action.

SPAL have not beaten Milan in Serie A since June 1957, followed by seven draws and 15 defeats.
