The Rossoneri are sole leaders after their crucial victory away to Napoli and confidence is sky high.

Theo Hernandez sits out a ban, replaced on the left by Alessandro Florenzi, while Romagnoli returns in defence and Olivier Giroud has shaken off a knock.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic made his comeback as a late substitute against Napoli and should feature here in the second half.

Empoli are giant-killers, already winning away to Juventus, Sassuolo and Napoli this season, but they’ve also badly gone off the boil with only six draws from their last 11 Serie A games.

The campaign is already over for Riccardo Marchizza and Nicolas Haas, while ex-Milan striker Patrick Cutrone is left on the bench.

Andrea Pinamonti is in far better form with nine Serie A goals this season, supported by Liam Henderson and Nedim Bajrami.

Milan: Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Florenzi; Tonali, Bennacer; Messias, Kessie, Leao; Giroud

Empoli: Vicario; Cacace, S Romagnoli, Luperto, Fiamozzi; Bandinelli, Asllani, Zurkowski; Henderson, Bajrami; Pinamonti
