AC Milan are aiming to register three straight wins in all competitions when they welcome Empoli to San Siro for a Serie A contest on Sunday.
The Rossoneri have handed themselves an advantage in the Europa League knockouts with a 4-2 victory over Slavia Prague in their last-16 first leg on Thursday while picking up a 1-0 win against Lazio in their previous league outing.
At a time Milan could leapfrog second-placed Juventus at least temporarily, Empoli barely have enough breathing space above the relegation zone after suffering a 1-0 loss against Lazio last weekend.
