AC Milan will invite Atalanta to San Siro in Serie A on Sunday. The visitors are in third place in the league table and have a 10-point lead over Milan.
The hosts returned to winning ways after three games last week, recording a 4-0 away triumph over Udinese. Rafael Leão and Strahinja Pavlović added goals late in the first half while Theo Hernández and Tijjani Reijnders added goals in quick succession after the break.
La Dea registered their first win after three consecutive losses last week. They met Bologna and first-half goals from Mateo Retegui and Mario Pašalić helped them to a 2-0 home triumph.

Kyle Walker, Emerson Royal, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek will miss this match due to injuries. Mike Maignan and Santiago Gimenez have resumed full training and are in contention to start here.
La Dea returned to winning and goalscoring ways after three losses last week and will look to build on that form.

Notably, they are winless in their last three Serie A away meetings against the hosts, failing to score in two.
Gianluca Scamacca, Giorgio Scalvini, Marco Palestra, Sead Kolasinac, and Charles De Ketelaere remain sidelined with injuries. Stefan Posch has trained separately from the squad and will undergo a late fitness test.
