Serie A: Milan vs. Parma: Probable line-ups and where to watch on TV | OneFootball

Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao look set to partner each other in attack for just the fourth time this season as Milan host Parma in San Siro in Serie A on Sunday afternoon.

Milan are coming in off the back of a 1-1 draw against Como in their rearranged fixture in San Siro on Wednesday evening, while Parma claimed all three points in a 2-1 win over Hellas Verona in their most recent Serie A fixture.

As things stand ahead of kick-off, Milan occupy second place in the Serie A table, and are hoping to move back within seven points of the league leaders, Inter, with a victory on Sunday. Parma, meanwhile, sit in 13th place on 29 points from 25 matches, eight points clear of the relegation zone.

Pre-match reports suggest that Pulisic and Leao will both return to start in the Milan attack on Sunday. The star Rossoneri attackers both have eight goals from 18 appearances in the league so far this season, but have only started alongside each other on four occasions, and not since the 1-0 victory over Lecce back in January, over a month ago.

Adrien Rabiot is also back from suspension and is expected to return to the midfield alongside Luka Modric, while Alexis Saelemaekers could also return to the XI at right wing-back.

With a slight shortage of defensive options, Sky Sport Italia claims that Davide Bartesaghi could start in the back three rather than at wing-back, which could mean an opportunity for Pervis Estupinan out on the left flank.

Head coach Massimiliano Allegri is suspended and will hand over his touchline duties to trusted assistant Marco Landucci.

Pre-match reports suggest that Carlos Cuesta will go with a similar line-up to the one that beat Verona last weekend, with the attacking line lead by Mateo Pellegrino and Gabriel Strefezza.

Kick-off is due at 17.00 GMT.
