Team News
AC Milan
After making several changes to his starting XI against Empoli, Stefano Pioli was again made acutely aware of his squad's lack of strength-in-depth, so Milan's regulars should all return on Wednesday evening.

Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud will be back from the start, with Simon Kjaer and Rade Krunic likely to join them. Brahim Diaz also returns, in hope of replicating his superb performance against Napoli earlier this month.

Pierre Kalulu is expected to miss out with a calf problem, though, which leaves wily veteran Kjaer to tussle with young Malick Thiaw for the right to partner Fikayo Tomori at the heart of the hosts' back four.
AC Milan possible starting lineup:
Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Kjaer, Hernandez; Tonali, Krunic, Bennacer; Diaz, Leao; Giroud

Napoli
While Giroud is Milan's top Champions League scorer this term with four goals, Napoli have four men on the same tally as the French forward: Victor Osimhen, Piotr Zielinski, Giovanni Simeone and Giacomo Raspadori.

However, in addition to the bitter blow of losing Serie A's Capocanonniere leader Osimhen to a thigh injury, his deputy Simeone is now a doubt after picking up a knock against Lecce.

Unless the Argentina international can recover in time for the trip to Italy's second city, Raspadori may have to deputise in the visitors' front three, on the left of which will be 'Kvaradona' himself - Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Napoli possible starting lineup:
Meret; Di Lorenzo, Kim, Rrahmani, Rui; Anguissa, Lobotka, Zielinski; Lozano, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia
Prediction: AC Milan 0-0 Napoli
