The Rossoneri are buoyed by last week’s 4-1 victory away to Sassuolo and the Europa League comeback to beat Olympiacos 3-1.

Higuain leads the attack after returning from injury midweek, flanked by Suso and Hakan Calhanoglu.

The main problem is in defence, where Alessio Romagnoli failed a fitness test this morning, joining Andrea Conti, Mattia Caldara and Ivan Strinic on the absentee list.

It leaves only Colombia international Cristian Zapata, who makes his first Serie A appearance of the season alongside Mateo Musacchio.

Chievo sit rock bottom, only partly because they have a three-point penalty for false accounting.

Fabrizio Cacciatore, Emanuele Giaccherini, Nenad Tomovic and Filip Djordjevic are all out of action for Coach Lorenzo D’Anna, who is hanging by a thread.

Mariusz Stepinski is the centre-forward with surprise support from 39-year-old striker Sergio Pellissier in his first start of the season.

Milan: G Donnarumma; Abate, Musacchio, Zapata, Rodriguez; Kessie, Biglia, Bonaventura; Suso, Higuain, Calhanoglu

Chievo: Sorrentino; Depaoli, Bani, Rossettini, Barba; Birsa, Rigoni, Radovanovic, Leris; Stepinski, Pellissier
