Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from the Serie A clash between Milan and Bologna, just days before they meet again in the Coppa Italia Final.
It kicks off at San Siro at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT, 20.45 CET).
By a bizarre twist of fate, these sides will face off on Wednesday May 14 in the Coppa Italia Final on neutral turf at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Meanwhile, it’s a decisive clash for position, as Bologna are in seventh place, yet only one point behind fourth, while Milan can get back into the race for Europe.

Bologna have been slowing down considerably in recent weeks, managing just two points from the last three Serie A rounds and falling behind in the race for fourth.
However, the fixture list might help them out, because this weekend there are also head-to-head battles between Lazio and Juventus, plus Atalanta and Roma.
Milan have now earned an extra 22 Serie A points by fighting back from trailing situations, 19 of them were under Sergio Conceicao’s tenure.
Another comeback victory for Milan!
Serie A | Milan 3-1 Bologna: Gimenez completes another epic comeback
Chukwueze on the counter, he found Gimenez, who gathered down the left, cut inside De Silvestri and fired into the far bottom corner with his right boot!
Castro with a push on Joao Felix, he is booked before the corner is taken.
Into at least 4 minutes of added time, but probably more after all that.
What a chance for 2-2! Gabbia clearance with difficulty on a cross from the right, it falls kindly for Cambiaghi, Maignan has to get down quickly to make the tough reaction save from 10 yards!
Joao Felix tries and fails to send Gimenez through the middle.

Milan got into an almighty mess at the back there, Maignan rushed off his line to grab the loose ball.
Bologna corner, but a foul is given against Castro for a shove on Joao Felix.
Moro off, El Azzouzi on for Bologna.
Another long ball over the top for Chukwueze, who turns Lykogiannis, pulls back for Joao Felix, his shot from just inside the area is frankly weak, hits Beukema and bounces into the path of Pulisic, who sweeps into the far bottom corner from 11 yards!
Loftus-Cheek makes way for Musah.
Ball floated over the top, Gimenez with a lovely lob as Skorupski was again rushing off his line, but the offside flag is up this time! Confirmed by VAR.
Chukwueze springs the offside trap, roll across is deflected off Lucumi, then Pulisic steers it into the path of Gimenez down the right, who places the finish beneath the on-rushing Skorupski!
Santiago Gimenez runs onto the Joao Felix through ball, seems to get there ahead of Lucumi, but then they run into each other, it falls back and Joao Felix balloons into the stands.
There are some penalty appeals, but they were both awfully clumsy.
Joao Felix surges forward, runs into the box, and runs straight into a defender. Some groans from the crowd.
Joao Felix booked for a clumsy sliding tackle on Lucumi.
Quick reminder, Rafael Leao is suspended, so cannot come on and change the game the way he did against Genoa last week.
