Leaders Milan are still struggling with injuries and look to Sandro Tonali and Pierre Kalulu against a Genoa side without Goran Pandev.

It kicks off at 19.45 GMT, follow the build-up and action as it happens from all SEVEN Serie A games on the LIVEBLOG.

The Rossoneri saw their lead at the top of the table cut from five points to three after last week’s 2-2 draw with Parma, although only a Theo Hernandez stoppage-time strike prevented them from suffering their first Serie A defeat since March.

Injuries continue to pile up for coach Stefano Pioli, who makes this trip without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Simon Kjaer, Matteo Gabbia and Ismael Bennacer.

It means Tonali steps into midfield and teenager Kalulu gets his first Serie A start after impressing off the bench against Parma, while Theo Hernandez is rested.

Rafael Leao returns to the starting XI with Samu Castillejo and Hakan Calhanoglu supporting Ante Rebic.

Genoa have a long list of absentees too, missing Cristian Zapata, Federico Marchetti, Davide Zappacosta, Filippo Melegoni, Francesco Cassata, Domenico Criscito, Davide Biraschi and Vittorio Parigini.

Add in not 100 per cent fit Goran Pandev and Milan Badelj, the options are limited for coach Rolando Maran.

The Grifone were only beaten by a pair of late Cristiano Ronaldo penalties in their 3-1 loss at home to Juventus.

Genoa: Perin; Masiello, Goldaniga, Bani, Pellegrini; Ghiglione, Lerager, Sturaro, Pjaca; Destro, Shomurodov

Milan: G Donnarumma; Calabria, Kalulu, Romagnoli, Dalot; Kessie, Tonali; Castillejo, Calhanoglu, Leao; Rebic
