Serie A official line-ups: Milan vs. Atalanta | OneFootball

Mike Maignan is passed fit to start for Milan with Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic and Luka Jovic in a 3-4-3 formation, while Atalanta rely on Mateo Retegui and Ademola Lookman.

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

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Bologna vs. Inter on the Liveblog.

This is a Lombardy Derby, but also a crucial crossroads for their campaigns, as Milan need a victory to stay in the hunt for Europe, while Atalanta want to cling on to third place.

Both sides ended poor form last week with a much-needed success, as the Rossoneri grabbed a 4-0 win away to Udinese.

Sergio Conceicao confirms the change to a 3-4-3 formation, pushing Theo Hernandez and Alex Jimenez into more advanced roles.

Kyle Walker, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Emerson Royal are still out of action, with Santiago Gimenez only fit for the bench.

The big news is Maignan has recovered from a nasty head injury in Udine and starts in goal.

Atalanta were plunging down the table after three consecutive defeats, but turned it around beating Bologna 2-0.

Sead Kolasinac’s season is over after anterior cruciate ligament surgery, joining Stefan Posch, Gianluca Scamacca, Giorgio Scalvini and Marco Palestra on the absentee list.

Surprisingly, Charles De Ketelaere is in the squad after an adductor issue, as he was expected to be out for another couple of weeks.

Mario Pasalic – another former Milan player – therefore starts in support of Lookman and Capocannoniere Retegui.
