The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
Atalanta defeated Sassuolo during the week to book their quarter-final berth in the Coppa Italia. Gian Piero Gasperini's men are unbeaten in their last seven matches in all competitions. They were frustrated in their last league outing by Lazio as they surrendered the lead twice in the contest to notch only a draw from the fixture, despite a brace from Josip Ilicic. They will be desperate to maintain their run of form and compound Milan's woes at the San Siro.
Milan's progress under Gennaro Gattuso was halted last week after they were hammered 3-0 by Hellas Verona on the road in their Serie A clash. The Rossoneri had comfortably beaten them days earlier in the last-16 of the Coppa Italia, but were soundly beaten, while matters were made worse by Suso's dismissal in the last minute. Gattuso has a challenge on his hands to get a response from his side today.
Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Serie A clash between Milan and Atalanta at the San Siro.
Milan are without the suspended Suso in one of three changes from their defeat to Hellas Verona last time out. Alessio Romagnoli is also banned, while Daniel Calabria drops to the bench. Ignazio Abate, Patrick Cutrone and Mateo Musacchio come into the fold for the Rossoneri.
Gasperini made changes during the week for the Coppa Italia clash against Sassuolo. He recalls the majority of his key players this afternoon as Andrea Masiello, Mattia Caldara, Bryan Cristante, Remo Freuler, Leonardo Spinazzola, Alejandro Gomez, Andrea Petagna and Etrit Berisha all return to action.
STAT ATTACK! AC Milan have failed to score in their last three home games against Atalanta.
STAT ATTACK! Atalanta are unbeaten in their last four Serie A games against AC Milan (W1 D3).
HALF-TIME: AC MILAN 0-1 ATALANTA
Atalanta lead AC Milan at the break thanks to Bryan Cristante's strike. It's the same story for the home side as they've been lacklustre in the final third and too easily exposed at the back. The Rossoneri thought they had taken the lead through Giacomo Bonaventura, only for the referee to chalk off his effort after using the video review system. Gian Piero Gasperini's men punished Patrick Cutrone for his error as Cristante found the net from the net after Mattia Caldara was allowed a free header at goal. Gennaro Gattuso faces a crucial 15 minutes to inspire his team.
FULL-TIME: AC MILAN 0-2 ATALANTA
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
Boos echo around the San Siro at the final whistle as AC Milan fall to a 2-0 defeat to Atalanta. Bryan Cristante put Gian Piero Gasperini's men in front in the first half before Josip Ilicic notched their second on the counter 18 minutes from time. The visitors were able to ease to victory as the Rossoneri struggled immensely in the final third. There could be further trouble ahead for Gennaro Gattuso and his team.
