AC Milan squares off against Liverpool in the new Champions League format.
opening week sees Christian Pulisic's AC Milan play host to Premier League giant Liverpool at the historic San Siro.
Both clubs began their seasons with new head coaches: Arne Slot is on the touchline at Liverpool while Paulo Fonseca is in charge of the Rossoneri. Slot has enjoyed a better run to the start of the Premier League campaign in England with three wins and one draw. Under Fonseca, Milan has just one win to go along with two draws and a defeat, sitting in ninth place in the Serie A table.
Milan is fresh off a 4-0 triumph over Venezia, Fonseca's first taste of victory at his new team. Defender Fikayo Tomoro was given a rest by Fonseca while veteran forward Álvaro Morata came off the bench in the second half in place of Tammy Abraham. Both players could be in line for starts under the lights at the San Siro given the huge match on the cards.The 29-year-old kept his first clean sheet of the season against Venezia and will look to carry that form into the midweek match.
