You can follow all the build-up and action of this match, Milan-Club Brugge and Aston Villa-Bologna on the Live Blog.

The Bianconeri won both of their opening games in Europe, beating PSV Eindhoven 3-1 and then fought back when down to 10 men for an incredible 3-2 victory away to RB Leipzig.

Michele Di Gregorio was sent off in that match and is therefore suspended, he is replaced in goal by Mattia Perin.

Nico Gonzalez, Teun Koopmeiners, Gleison Bremer and Arek Milik are injured, while Kenan Yildiz and Conceicao fan out around Vlahovic.

Weston McKennie returns to midfield with Nicolò Fagioli and Danilo makes a rare start in defence.

Douglas Luiz was due to get his second start in a row, but withdrew during the warm-up and was replaced by Khephren Thuram.
