Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen made five changes for their high-profile clash with Bayern at the weekend, but Xabi Alonso is likely to retain most of that starting XI against Milan.
Captain Granit Xhaka is certain to feature in midfield, but Robert Andrich - who scored Die Werkself's goal on Saturday - must compete with Aleix Garcia and Exequiel Palacios to partner him.
Also an automatic first-choice selection, Florian Wirtz has been directly involved in 24 goals in his last 26 European starts and had scored four times in three games before firing a blank in Bavaria.
Bayer Leverkusen possible starting lineup:
Hradecky; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie; Frimpong, Andrich, Xhaka, Grimaldo; Terrier, Wirtz; Boniface
AC Milan
Meanwhile, Milan's main threat may come from a former Germany-based player enjoying some scintillating Serie A form this season. Christian Pulisic has found the net in his last four matches - all four goals coming during the first half - and will now try to become the first man from the United States to score in three consecutive Champions League appearances.
Tammy Abraham has recently joined Pulisic, Rafael Leao and Alvaro Morata in the Rossoneri's attack, but Ruben Loftus-Cheek could come back in to add more midfield cover against top-class opponents.
Marco Sportiello (hand), Ismael Bennacer (ankle) and Alessandro Florenzi (ACL) are all sidelined by injury, while captain Davide Calabria is struggling with a muscular problem.
AC Milan possible starting lineup:
Maignan; Emerson, Tomori, Gabbia, Hernandez; Fofana, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Abraham
Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 AC Milan
