Milan have Fikayo Tomori back and give Divock Origi a rare start in this historic derby with Silvio Berlusconi’s Monza, who are the only Serie A side unbeaten in 2023.
It kicks off at the U-Power Stadium in Monza at 17.00 GMT.
The Rossoneri had a disastrous start to the year, but are now coming off back-to-back 1-0 victories against Torino and Champions League rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Stefano Pioli continues with the three-man defence, welcoming back Tomori from an injury lay-off, though Ismael Bennacer, Davide Calabria and Mike Maignan.
Olivier Giroud is finally allowed some rest, as Origi leads the attack with support from Brahim Diaz and Rafael Leao, plus Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the bench.
Monza are the only side unbeaten in Serie A during 2023 and this will always be a special match, as the club is run by Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani, who were at the helm of Milan for over 30 years.
Carlos Augusto is a major loss to injury, joining Samuele Vignato on the treatment table, so Patrick Ciurria switches to the left wing.
Monza: Di Gregorio; Marlon, Pablo Marì, Izzo; Birindelli, Rovella, Pessina, Ciurria; Mota Carvalho, Caprari; Petagna
Milan: Tatarusanu; Kalulu, Tomori, Thiaw; Messias, Tonali, Krunic, Theo Hernandez; Brahim Diaz, Origi, Leao
