Serie A: Genoa vs. Milan – Probable line-ups and where to watch on TV

Milan will look to Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao for Monday night’s Serie A match away against Patrick Vieira’s Genoa, but there are some doubts about Sergio Conceicao’s selection at centre-forward.
The ninth-placed Rossoneri travel to Genoa, currently 13th in the table on Monday evening, kicking off at 19.45 BST. Both teams will still be in the same positions at the end of the night: Neither can improve on their current league positions tonight, nor can they be overtaken.
Genoa are looking to bounce back after a 1-0 loss away against Como last weekend, and could be poised to make a handful of changes for the Milan clash on Monday night.
Sky Sport Italia suggests that Alessandro Zanoli, Junior Messias and Andrea Pinamonti could be set to return to the starting XI, possibly in place of Lior Kasa, Morten Thorsby and Jeff Ekhator.
Milan, meanwhile, have settled into their 3-4-2-1 system and are not expected to make any major change to their starting line-up after a 2-0 win away against Venezia last time out.

In fact, the only position that could be changed is at centre-forward with minor pre-match concerns over Luka Jovic’s fitness.
The Serbian has four goals in his last five matches across all competitions, but could be replaced by January signing Santiago Gimenez if he is declared not fit enough to start against Genoa.
