Milan have Christian Pulisic back with Santiago Gimenez and Luka Modric, but miss Mike Maignan and Rafael Leao against giant-killers Udinese.
It kicks off at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

The Rossoneri will not have coach Max Allegri on the touchline, as he sits out a ban for his jacket-flinging rage at the fourth official in the wake of controversial refereeing decisions.
Despite that penalty call, they did manage to beat Bologna 1-0 at San Siro, their second consecutive victory.
Maignan went off with a muscular problem and is therefore replaced by Pietro Terracciano in goal, while Rafael Leao and Ardon Jashari are still out of action too.
Strahinja Pavlovic and Pulisic have shaken off knocks to start, with Adrien Rabiot and Modric in midfield, so Ruben Loftus-Cheek drops to the bench.

Udinese are ahead of Milan in the table, still unbeaten after a home draw with Verona, then away victories over Inter and Pisa.
Maduka Okoye continues his ban for betting irregularities, with Sandi Lovric also still out of action, but Vakoun Bayo is back in the squad.
Iker Bravo is confirmed alongside Keinan Davis upfront, with Arthur Atta and Jakub Piotrowski in midfield.
