AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has named an unchanged starting line-up for the third game in a row as his side take on Bologna at San Siro tonight.
It was reported throughout the week that Pioli would not stray from the side that picked up maximum points against Roma and Udinese in the last two rounds.
That has proven to be the case, with Davide Calabria, Simon Kjaer, Matteo Gabbia and Theo Hernandez once again protecting goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
Tijjani Reijnders and Yacine Adli are expected to be the double pivot directing things in the midfield, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek ahead of them in a more advanced role.
Flanking the Englishman will be Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao to the right and left respectively, while Olivier Giroud will lead the line.
The absentees start with the centre-back trio Fikayo Tomori, Pierre Kalulu and Malick Thiaw who will be out for some time, as will Tommaso Pobega and Mattia Caldara.
Ismael Bennacer is back in Italy after Algeria got knocked out of the African Cup of Nations but he will also be out with an adductor problem. Samuel Chukwueze is still there with Nigeria as they topped their group.
