Serie A Week 30 official line-ups: Milan vs. Torino
Milan are feeling the pressure without Rafael Leao, so Niclas Fullkrug starts with Christian Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot against a Torino revitalised by new coach Roberto D’Aversa.
It kicks off at San Siro at 17.00 GMT (18.00 CET).

The Rossoneri had been dreaming of the Scudetto after beating rivals Inter to close the gap on the leaders, but a surprising defeat to Lazio saw them drop closer to fifth now than first place.
To make matters worse, Rafael Leao suffered an adductor injury after his tantrum at being substituted, so he is ruled out here along with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Matteo Gabbia.
It means Fullkrug is chosen to lead the attack with Pulisic, but the good news is that Santiago Gimenez gets his first appearance on the bench since his ankle injury in October.
Rabiot also returns from suspension to bolster the midfield with Luka Modric, while Davide Bartesaghi is back from injury to replace Pervis Estupinan.
Torino sacked coach Marco Baroni after a dismal run of results and have been revitalised by the arrival of D’Aversa this month.
He oversaw two victories over Lazio and Parma, narrowly falling 2-1 to Napoli.
Zakaria Aboukhlal, Alieu Njie and Zanos Savva did not make the trip, but Nikola Vlasic, Giovanni Simeone and Duvan Zapata lead the attack, with Che Adams and January signing Sandro Kulenovic ready to come off the bench.
When these sides met back in December, Milan ran out 3-2 winners in Turin, ending a run of just one point from three previous meetings with Toro.
