74'
S. Khedira enters the game and replaces M. Pjanić.
F. Borini enters the game and replaces I. Abate.
D. Laxalt enters the game and replaces H. Çalhanoğlu.
Laxalt is introduced by Gattuso and he replaces Calhanoglu, who has had a very quiet night.
Pjanic makes way for Khedira and that should give the visitors some extra energy in midfield.
Gattuso is going for this as he takes off Abate and brings on striker Borini. So, Milan's formation will now change and Juventus have 16 minutes to hang on.
73'
We should be about to get our first Juventus sub as Khedira is stripped off and ready to go.
71'

66'
Milan go close after launching a counter attack and Juventus' defence looked worried but Benatia produced a superb block to deny Higuain's cross.
64'
Those inside the stadium are still firmly behind Milan but they need to see more from their team otherwise Juventus will cruise to a routine win.

46'
We are back underway in Milan.

HALF-TIME MILAN 0-1 JUVENTUS.
45'
Two minutes of stoppage time at the end of the first half...
43'
That is a huge moment in the match and Milan should be level. They have yet to get out of second gear tonight and that really could have given them a lift before the interval.
41'
Penalty saved by W. Szczęsny!
SAVEDDDDD! Milan miss the penalty and Higuain is left distraught after missing the chance to score against his former side. The striker did not pick his spot too well and Szczesny was able to get his fingertips to the ball and touch it onto the post.
Szczesny deserves all the praise for that stop. He stayed big but still had enough agility to get down and deny Higuain.
36'
We are now back underway...
34'

Nothing comes of that set piece and the quality of the game has not been the best so far.

Allegri's side win another corner and Pjanic gets ready to take it...
21'
Milan clear with ease and they will now look to build from the back.
20'

We are underway!
Good evening and welcome to tonight's live coverage of the Serie A meeting between AC Milan and Juventus.
Milan are unbeaten in their last four matches, so confidence should be high as they try to put pressure on the reigning Serie A champions. Massimiliano Allegri's men are in decent form themselves, winning three of their last five.
SUBS: Diego Laxalt, Jose Mauri, Alen Halilovic, Fabio Borini, Antonio Donnarumma, Riccardo Montolivo, Andrea Bertolacci, Raoul Bellanova, Jose Reina, Patrick Cutrone, Stefan Simic, Davide Calabria.
Juventus starting XI (4-3-3): Wojciech Szczesny; Joao Cancelo, Medhi Benatia, Giorgio Chiellini (c), Alex Sandro; Rodrigo Bentancur, Miralem Pjanic, Blaise Matuidi; Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic, Cristiano Ronaldo.
SUBS: Federico Bernardeschi, Andrea Barzagli, Mattia De Sciglio, Carlo Pinsoglio, Mattia Perin, Daniele Rugani, Moise Kean, Sami Khedira, Leonardo Bonucci, Douglas Costa.
The two teams are now on the field and we are nearly ready to go.
After plenty of slow spells, the game finally came to life at the end of the first half. Juventus took the lead through Mandzukic and his header was nearly repeated just two minutes later but Milan survived. Gattuso's side have since been going through the motions and they were given a great chance to draw level but Szczesny was on hand to save the day.
Milan will need to improve in midfield if they are to get any joy tonight and Suso, Calhanoglu and Higuain are being left too isolated. Juventus will feel that one more goal will be enough due to their superb defensive record.
Milan have improved under Gattuso, but they are still to prove they can compete with the likes of Juventus on a regular basis. Higuain had a night to forget against his former club and everyone attached to the club will want to move on as soon as possible.
That is all tonight folks, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
Another cracking game could be on the cards this evening as both teams currently sit inside the top five. The visitors are top and they have a 10-point cushion over Gennaro Gattuso's side.
