“It’s going to be a good test for us, because it could get us closer to Milan even during their excellent current form,” said the Coach.

“They have a huge potential both in defence and attack. Carlos Bacca always attacks the goal, he’s a real centre-forward and we need to be very wary of his movement.

“We will play our usual game, aggressive and attacking. Sassuolo are in good shape too and I’ve said for a while the team has been improving regardless of results, we just weren’t taking our chances.

“It will be a packed stadium and that makes us proud too. We are fighting for objectives other than Serie A safety now and it’s a great feeling to be doing that against a side like Milan. I imagine it will be for our patron too.”

Sassuolo President Giorgio Squinzi is a self-confessed Milan supporter and good friends with Rossoneri chief Silvio Berlusconi.

Simone Missiroli returns from suspension, so the only absentee is Karim Laribi.
