Only a victory will ensure third place, as a draw and Fiorentina win in Pescara would send the Viola through thanks to a superior head-to-head record.
Massimiliano Allegri could be making his final appearance on the Milan bench amid reports of a deal with Roma.
Sulley Muntari is suspended after his red card for manhandling the referee, while Kevin-Prince Boateng, Bojan Krkic and Nigel De Jong are injured.

Nicola Pozzi and Simone Vergassola are out of action.
