Charles De Ketelaere faces his old club with Ademola Lookman as Atalanta seek a ninth straight Serie A win against Milan’s Christian Pulisic and Alvaro Morata.

It kicks off at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo at 19.45 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Inter-Parma on the Liveblog.

La Dea are the only team currently keeping up with leaders Napoli, sitting one point behind them in second place after eight consecutive Serie A victories.

There is some squad rotation ahead of the Champions League showdown with Real Madrid on Tuesday, so Mateo Retegui is rested.

De Ketelaere is used as a centre-forward against his old club, supported by Lookman and Mario Pasalic.

Juan Cuadrado, Davide Zappacosta and Gianluca Scamacca are out of action.

Milan were revitalised in the last few days with a 3-0 win in Serie A, then crushing Sassuolo 6-1 in the Coppa Italia midweek.

They rotated the squad for that game, so Morata and Pulisic return ahead of the Champions League on Wednesday with Crvena Zvezda.

Rafael Leao, Tijjani Reijnders and Youssouf Fofana started midweek in the Coppa Italia and remain here.

Luka Jovic, Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi are still on the treatment table.

Yunus Musah is again chosen in a hybrid role as part of the attacking support, while also covering the defence.

Milan have one point from the last three competitive meetings with Atalanta.
