Serie A league leaders Napoli travel to defending champions Milan for the first leg of an all Italian affair in the Champions League quarter-finals.
The match between the Rossoneri and the Partenopei kicks off at 20.00 UK time at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan.
A warmup to this tie kicked off earlier this month, when the two teams met in Naples in the league. In a rather unexpected fashion, Milan flew to a 4-0 win over Napoli, putting on one of their most impressive performances of the season.
Stefano Pioli cannot count on Pierre Kalulu and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, both of whom are sidelined with injuries.
Things are a little more concerning for Luciano Spalletti, whose Napoli are without star striker Victor Osimhen and reliable backup Giovanni Simeone, limiting the team’s firepower in a crucial clash.
Whilst Napoli did lose 4-0 to Milan earlier this month, they did pick up a 2-1 win over the Rossoneri back in September.
Probable line-ups for Milan vs Napoli
Milan (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Hernandez; Tonali, Krunic; Diaz, Bennacer, Leao; Giroud.
Napoli (4-3-3): Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Kim, Olivera; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Lozano, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia.
