Colombian defender Cristian Zapata remains out for the visitors along with long-term absentee midfielder Jack Bonaventura.

Lazio are dealing with a number of injuries, with defenders Luis Felipe, Bastos, Wallace and Jordan Lukaku all likely to be missing.

Preview

These two sides come into this game in contrasting fashions form-wise. While Milan have been scoring goals and winning games, Lazio have looked underwhelming in the last few weeks, with the Roman outfit exiting the Europa League in disappointing style against Sevilla.

Goal

For a side with European aspirations Lazio's total of 33 league goals - only the 10th highest in the division - is below expectations and they will have to improve if they are to compete with a free-scoring Milan side.

Gattusso's men have netted three goals in each of their last three games, with new signing Krzysztof Piatek in stunning form. The Polish forward has scored in five consecutive games since his move from Genoa and his goals have helped the Rossonerri hit some real form.
