The Rossoneri have nothing more to play for other than pride and trying to avoid it becoming the worst campaign since Silvio Berlusconi took over in 1986.

Toro have plenty at stake, as they are still in the running for a Europa League spot, especially after Sampdoria and Inter stalled.

It’s a special game for Alessio Cerci, who is perhaps regretting his decision to leave Torino last summer, having struggled at Atletico Madrid and now Milan.

In fact, he’s on the bench again in this game with his former teammates.

Inzaghi has a reduced squad to choose from, as Jeremy Menez, Suso and Giacomo Bonaventura are all suspended.

The injury list includes Daniele Bonera, Riccardo Montolivo, Luca Antonelli, Mattia De Sciglio, Michael Essien and Michael Agazzi.

Torino have quite a few issues too, as Nikola Maksimovic sits out a ban with Fabio Quagliarella, Maxi Lopez, Alexander Farnerud, Cesare Bovo and Luca Castellazzi unavailable.

It means Amauri leads the line with Josef Martinez and Omar El Kaddouri, while Stephan El Shaarawy gets his first start for Milan since January 24.

Curiously, Christian Abbiati gets a rare start in goal, which suggests he could be hanging up his gloves at the end of the season.

Milan: Abbiati; Zaccardo, Alex, Paletta, Bocchetti; Poli, De Jong, Van Ginkel; Honda, Pazzini, El Shaarawy
