Milan have Simon Kjaer back, but lose Davide Calabria as Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud lead the way against Monza in what will always be Silvio Berlusconi’s fixture.
It kicks off at San Siro at 11.30 GMT.
The Rossoneri beat Newcastle United 2-1 at St. James’ Park on Wednesday, not enough to stay in the Champions League, but it did send them into the Europa League knockout play-offs.
Kjaer returns to the defence, but Calabria is suspended, so Theo Hernandez can be a left-back again and Alessandro Florenzi switches to the right.
Yunus Musah, Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu, Marco Sportiello, Mattia Caldara and Marco Pellegrino are still out of action.
Tommaso Pobega steps into midfield and Giroud is preferred upfront to Luka Jovic.
This is the first time these clubs have met since Silvio Berlusconi died, as he was in charge of Milan for over 30 years, then took Monza to their first ever top flight campaign.
Pablo Mari and Gianluca Caprari are on the treatment table, with Papu Gomez sitting out a two-year ban for doping, but Samuele Vignato returns to the squad.
Mattia Pessina, Danilo D’Ambrosio and Andrea Colpani remain the key figures after their 1-0 win over Genoa, but Patrick Ciurria is only fit for the bench.
Milan: Maignan; Florenzi, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Loftus-Cheek, Reijnders, Pobega; Pulisic, Leao; Giroud
Monza: Di Gregorio; D’Ambrosio, Caldirola, A Carboni; Pereira, Pessina, Gagliardini, Kyriakopoulos; Colpani, Mota Carvalho; Colombo
