AC Milan face the toughest game of their season as they return to San Siro on Tuesday needing to overturn a 2 goal deficit to progress to their first Champions League final since 2007.
The Rossoneri were supposedly the ‘home’ side in the Milan derby first leg, but offered a flat performance and were comprehensively beaten by their City rivals Inter 2-0 six days ago.
Following that up with a defeat against 18th placed Spezia that leaves their place in next season’s Champions League in serious doubt, they are in danger of throwing away what had been a strong season in the coming days.
To avoid that, however, they will have to find at least two goals without reply, and three to head through in normal time at the expense of the Nerazzurri.
Here’s how we expect them to line up for their return leg at San Siro, and the latest on a whole host of stars.

Pioli’s side are still sweating on the fitness of star man Rafael Leao ahead of the second leg on Tuesday.
However, they will definitely be without Algerian midfielder Ismael Bennacer, who limped off in the first half of the first leg clash and has undergone surgery in the days since.
Both Rade Krunic and Junior Messais, who featured in the first leg, are also doubts for the game as injury woes mount up for the Rossoneri in the most important part of their season.
