Paulo Fonseca will once again reduce rotations for Milan, but Alvaro Morata will return to the starting XI against Moise Kean’s Fiorentina.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET (18:45 GMT) at the Artemio Franchi in Florence. Football Italia will be among the accredited media.
The Tuscans are without the injured Rolando Mandragora but will see Albert Gudmundsson and Kean return to the starting XI after a 2-0 win over The New Saints in the Conference League on Thursday.
Lucas Martinez Quarta and Pietro Comuzzo fight for a starting spot at the back and the same is true of Yacine Adli and Andrea Colpani. If the ex-Monza star gets the nod, Edoardo Bove will start in the middle of the park.
Milan must cope without Alessandro Florenzi, Ismael Bennacer, Marco Sportiello, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Davide Calabria and ex-Fiorentina star Luka Jovic.
Fonseca will confirm the starting team that lost 1-0 against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday night, except for the attacking midfielder, as Morata will replace Loftus-Cheek.
The match will be shown live on TNT Sports and OneFootball in the UK and Ireland. Paramount+ is the platform for Serie A games in the USA, and the same is true of BeIN Sports and BeIN Sports Connect in Australia and New Zealand.
Fiorentina (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Dodo, Comuzzo, Ranieri, Biraghi; Cataldi, Bove; Colpani, Gudmundsson, Gosens; Kean.
Milan (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Emerson Royal, Tomori, Gabbia, Hernandez; Fofana, Reijnders; Pulisic, Morata, Leao; Abraham.
