Champions League line-ups: Slovan Bratislava vs. Milan | OneFootball

Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic and Noah Okafor lead the Milan attack in a must-win Champions League trip to Slovan Bratislava.

It kicks off at the Narodny Futbalovy Stadion at 17.45 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Inter-RB Leipzig and Young Boys-Atalanta on the Liveblog.

The Rossoneri continue to have a mixed start to this season, able to beat Real Madrid 3-1 at the Bernabeu, then register back-to-back draws in Serie A.

The pressure is on Paulo Fonseca to get all three points in Bratislava against a Slovan side that lost all four Champions League games so far.

Morata is suspended with Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi injured, so Abraham has to lead the attack with Samuel Chukwueze.

Rafael Leao is rested in favour of Okafor, though Pulisic is back in the starting XI after returning from international duty with a knock.

Captain Davide Calabria also returns, as Emerson Royal has a bruised ankle.

Slovan Bratislava lost all four games by scoring two goals and conceding 15 against Celtic, Manchester City, Girona and Dinamo Zagreb, yet are top of the league in Slovakia.

Lukas Pauschek, Marko Tolic and Sharani Zuberu are not fully fit, but ex-Milan veteran midfielder Juraj Kucka is available again after knee surgery in September.

David Strelec and Tigran Barseghyan are their top scorers with 12 goals each this season.
