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

Milan confirm the side that crushed Inter 3-0 in the Coppa Italia semi-final midweek, including Luka Jovic, Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic away to tricky Venezia.

It kicks off at the Stadio Penzo at 11.30 UK time (10.30 GMT, 12.30 CET).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s seven Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The Rossoneri are languishing in ninth place in Serie A, but managed to revitalise their campaign by flattening rivals Inter 3-0 on Wednesday evening to book their Coppa Italia Final against Bologna.

That is also their best hope of qualifying for the Europa League, but there is still a chance to turn things around here too.

Emerson Royal is the only remaining absentee for Milan, as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Kyle Walker are back on the bench.

Matteo Gabbia has also shaken off a neck problem to start in the three-man defence, as Sergio Conceicao sticks with the team that beat Inter a few days ago.

That means Theo Hernandez and Alex Jimenez in more advanced roles, with Leao and Pulisic flanking Jovic.

Venezia are still in the bottom three, but have made themselves very difficult to break down recently.

They have lost only one of the last eight games, including draws with Lazio, Atalanta, Como and Napoli, losing only 1-0 to Bologna.

Daniel Fila returns from suspension, but Michael Svoboda, Richie Sagrado and Mikel Ellertsson are out of action.

Goalkeeper Filip Stankovic, who is owned by Inter, is back in the squad after a serious knee injury at the start of February.

Fila is supported by John Yeboah, with Gianluca Busio and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia in midfield.
