Gennaro Gattuso is taking desperate measures after back-to-back defeats against Inter and Real Betis, so will for the first time start with a 4-4-2 system.
This will allow him to use Higuain and Cutrone together, as the 20-year-old striker always seems to provide a boost of adrenaline when he comes off the bench.
With the 4-4-2, Suso and Diego Laxalt are set to take the wide roles, with Franck Kessie given the all-clear to start despite a knee and ankle problem.
Giacomo Bonaventura is not even on the bench due to a knee inflammation, while Hakan Calhanoglu is not fully fit due to a bruised foot.
Mattia Caldara misses out and Andrea Conti is back in the squad after 225 days out with knee injuries.
Vasco Regini is the only absentee for Sampdoria, as Gaston Ramirez is more likely to start than Gianluca Caprari in the trequartista role, while Karol Linetty beats Edgar Barreto for a midfield berth.
Veteran Fabio Quagliarella is supported by Ricky Saponara (a former Milan youth product) and Gregoire Defrel.
