Milan completely revolutionise their starting XI including Charles De Ketelaere and Alexis Saelemaekers for this tricky trip to giant-killers Bologna.
It kicks off at the Stadio Dall’Ara at 14.00 UK time (13.00 GMT).
The Rossoneri won the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Napoli and are gearing up for the return on Tuesday evening, so Stefano Pioli rests many of his star names.
It’s a risky tactic considering they slipped to fourth place after one win in the last five Serie A games and visit a Bologna side that in recent weeks already beat Inter and Atalanta while holding Lazio.
This becomes a very Belgian starting XI including De Ketelaere, Saelemaekers, Aster Vranckx and Divock Origi.
Bologna have Riccardo Orsolini suspended after taking his shirt off to celebrate the goal against Atalanta, plus Marko Arnautovic and Andrea Cambiaso injured.
Roberto Soriano has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a collateral medial knee ligament tear.
The Rossoblu have not beaten Milan since 2016, managing just two draws in their last 14 meetings.
Bologna: Skorupski; Posch, Soumaoro, Lucumì, Kyriakopoulos; Ferguson, Schouten, Dominguez; Aebischer, Sansone, Barrow
Milan: Maignan; Florenzi, Kalulu, Thiaw, Ballo-Touré; Vranckx, Pobega; Saelemaekers, De Ketelaere, Rebic; Origi
