Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from tonight’s Serie A game, as Milan try to build on derby success by hosting Lecce.

It kicks off at San Siro at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

The Rossoneri got their campaign back on track with a 2-1 victory over rivals Inter, which gave them back-to-back Serie A wins, albeit sandwiched around a Champions League loss to Liverpool.

Lecce lost the first two rounds, then beat Cagliari and were held to draws by Torino and Parma.

However, the latter was dramatic in the extreme, as they were leading 2-0 at the 91st minute and collapsed.

Theo Hernandez comments

Morata ’emotional’ with kids and Theo Hernandez enjoys Milan record

Alvaro Morata

The Spain international’s estranged wife flew in today from Madrid and their four children were sat on the touchline, so he was able to celebrate by rushing over to hug them.

“It was a wonderful moment. They give me strength to go to work every day, because they understand more every day, they become more fans and it was emotional to embrace them on the touchline,” Morata told Sky Sport Italia.

He had been in doubt for this match with an inflammation and went off during the second half, so are there updates on his fitness levels?

“I am fine, I just have a bit of pain. I didn’t have pre-season and missed a lot of training, so naturally it just takes a bit longer and I went off as a precaution.”

The new Milan system seems to be working well since Morata dropped to a deeper trequartista role in support of centre-forward Abraham.

“I’ve known Abraham for many years, we were together at Chelsea too. He is a great player, can give more and we’re getting to understand the tactical movements.”

This result puts Milan temporarily joint top of the table on 11 points with Torino.

Match report

Serie A | Milan 3-0 Lecce: Rossoneri to the power of three

94'
FT: Milan 3-0 Lecce

Dorgu last to give up with an effort deflected wide, but no time for the corner.

90'
Leao chance

Lovely bit of Leao skill to break away on the counter, turns on the turbo and snapshot beaten away by Falcone!

Into 4 minutes of stoppages.

88'

Rafia curler from outside the box is dipping viciously, Maignan smothers.

86'

Maignan sticks out a boot to deny Pierotti from point-blank range, but again he was visibly offside from the Krstovic flick, again the linesman kept the flag down for ages and the referee stopped play first.

83'

Oudin on, Coulibaly off.

81'

Bartesaghi leaves the field, Fonseca is furious with the fourth official, having seen the replay. His teammates try to reassure the defender.

80'
Milan down to 10 men!

Ouch. Davide Bartesaghi goes in with a sliding tackle on Banda and there is a straight red card.

Not quite sure it was worth that, he got some of the ball and the studs were not particularly raised.

77'

Chukwueze cross from the right for Loftus-Cheek, header has no power and is easy for Falcone.

75'

Theo Hernandez and Abraham off, Bartesaghi and Jovic on.

74'

That was a really nice reception from the Milan fans for Rebic, he was pleased with it too.

73'

Rebic and Pierret off, Rafia and Pierotti on.

72'
Lecce hit the post!

Lameck Banda did not appear to be offside on the through ball from Ramadani and his finish hit the near post!

71'
Loftus-Cheek off the crossbar!

Almost 4-0 for Milan, albeit not entirely on purpose, because that was definitely meant to be a cross from Loftus-Cheek down the right and it looped over to bounce off the top of the crossbar.

67'
Maignan save

Lecce pushing now with a series of corners, one of which hit Abraham on the shoulder, then Ramadani scorcher from distance palmed round the post by Maignan.

63'

Musah and Chukwueze on for Milan, Fofana and Pulisic off.

62'

Lecce wake up at last and get a shot on target with Rebic, turning between defenders on a Krstovic pass, with a weak finish straight at Maignan.

61'

Leao sends Theo down the left, pull-back sort of hits Leao more than controls it, Loftus-Cheek and Abraham can’t make the most of it either.

59'

Loftus-Cheek back-heel flick for Rafael Leao, who boots it into the sky. He looks at the turf as if to blame a divot. The crowd is not buying it.

59'

Banda replaces Tete Morente for Lecce.

57'

Reijnders blasts over from distance after a long period of Milan possession.
