Supercoppa semi-final line-ups: Juventus vs. Milan | OneFootball

Sergio Conceicao makes Milan changes on his debut with Christian Pulisic and Fikayo Tomori starting against Dusan Vlahovic and Francisco Conceicao’s Juventus in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final.

It kicks off at the Al-Awwal Park Stadium in Riyadh at 19.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens on the Liveblog.

The winners will be decided after 90 minutes or penalties, without the need for extra time, and go on to face Inter in the Final on Monday.

Milan qualified by finishing runners-up in Serie A last season, while Juventus won the Coppa Italia.

Having sacked Paulo Fonseca on Monday, the Rossoneri make their debut under new boss Sergio Conceicao, who is forced to deal with injury problems already.

Rafael Leao, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Samuel Chukwueze and Alessandro Florenzi are all out of action, with Pulisic and Yunus Musah not at 100 per cent either.

He immediately transforms the tactics to a 4-3-3 formation with Alex Jimenez and Pulisic flanking Alvaro Morata.

Having been on the verge of a sale to Juventus just days ago, Fikayo Tomori is now right back in the centre of defence, with Theo Hernandez also revitalised following his tension with Fonseca.

Juventus are continuing to struggle under Thiago Motta, drawing 13 of their 25 competitive games so far this season, albeit suffering only one defeat in the Champions League against VfB Stuttgart.

Weston McKennie is again chosen as a hybrid left-back, despite Andrea Cambiaso recovering from injury.

Francisco Conceicao gets the nod to start against his father with Teun Koopmeiners and Samuel Mbangula completing the attack behind Vlahovic, as Kenan Yildiz and Nico Gonzalez are left on the bench.

Pierre Kalulu also plays against his parent club.

Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal are out for the rest of the season, with Arkadiusz Milik still recovering from anterior cruciate ligament surgery.
