The Rossoneri?s European DNA will be tested in an Italian derby. AC Milan host AS Roma for the first leg of the Europa League quarter finals at the San Siro tonight. Stefano Pioli?s side are coming in to the game in good form with five wins in their previous five games but Roma are having a good run too as they beat Lazio in the derby last time out and are unbeaten in the previous three.
Milan will welcome back Malick Thiaw and Ismael Bennacer from injury into the starting line up while Ruben Loftus-Cheek also rejoins after a suspension in the league. Fikayo Tomori will miss out after his yellow card against Slavia Praha. Roma have been a side to watch under Daniele de Rossi and have lots of firepower in Dybala, Lukaku and El Shaarawy up front with Pellegrini just behind them.
The Rossoneri will rely on their experience getting to the semis of the UCL last season but Roma have been in two consecutive finals in the previous two years.
Expected Line Up (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Gabbia, Hernandez; Bennacer, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud.
