Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere are expected to start up front for Atalanta in the absence of Gianluca Scamacca against Milan on Saturday, while the visitors are still without star forward Rafael Leao. 

La Dea could do with a win having lost three of their last four outings in Serie A. The Rossoneri arrive at the Gewiss Stadium with two consecutive league wins under their belt with a 3-1 loss against Dortmund in Europe sandwiched in between. 

Gian Piero Gasperini is expected to name a typical back three, with Ederson and Martin De Roon in the midfield and Teun Koopmeiners providing the creativity behind the strikers. 

In Leao’s absence, Milan are set to field a front three of Samuel Chuzwueze, Olivier Giroud and Christian Pulisic. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tijjani Reijnders and Yunus Musah are the expected midfielders. 

Theo Hernandez is set to continue in  his recent role as a centre-back alongside Fikayo Tomori and Davide Calabria and Alessandro Florenzi out wide. 

Kick-off is due at 17.00 UK time. 

Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Musso; Scalvini, Djimsiti, Bonfanti; Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri; Koopmeiners; Lookman, De Ketelaere.

Milan (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Theo Hernandez, Florenzi; Loftus-Cheek, Reijnders, Musah; Chukwueze, Giroud, Pulisic.
