Both teams are on four points in the group and the winner of Tuesday’s match will feel they have a great chance to secure the top spot and a more favourable draw in the next round.
Having won the match at Stamford Bridge by a 3-0 scoreline, Chelsea will be full of confidence that they can get a result at San Siro.
It is expected that Trevoh Chalobah will start the game in defence, a player who was linked with Milan in the summer. He will have Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly for company.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang started against Milan last time but was left out against Wolves at the weekend. He should come back into the lineup.
Chelsea predicted XI vs Milan (3-4-2-1): Kepa; Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly; James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Chilwell; Mount, Sterling; Aubameyang.
