30'

16'
Kucka slides a pass in behind for Bacca to chase, but Alex Sandro tracks back to do well defensively. Milan have recovered from a slow start and are now showing the threat that they have been carrying in recent weeks on the counter-attack. Juve need to make their pressure count.

Gonzalo Higuain partners his compatriot Paulo Dybala up top.
TEAM NEWS: Carlos Bacca starts up top for the hosts, with M'Baye Niang and Suso flanking the Colombian striker. In Riccardo Montolivo's absence, Manuel Locatelli continues to feature in midfield, with Jan Kucka and Giacomo Bonaventura providing extra creativity. Vincenzo Montella's back four remain unchanged.
The Rossoneri are unbeaten in their last five Serie A games, and have won three of their last four matches on home soil. Juve, however, have won their last six consecutive games in all competitions, conceding just one goal in the process. Neither side will be able to leave happy tonight if they don't take three points.

HALF-TIME! Both sides go in goalless at the break, with plenty of free-kicks not leading to heaps of good chances. Donnarumma and Buffon have both been busy, and Pjanic has had one goal chalked off, with the Bianconeri looking slightly the more likely to take the lead at San Siro.
FULL-TIME! Milan scrape a narrow 1-0 victory over Juventus, courtesy of a wonderful strike from teenage star Locatelli. Despite the away side having plenty of the ball and a lot of half-chances, Montella's men hold out for yet another win, with Allegri's side knocked off their stride in the hunt for the Serie A title.
