CHIEVO  Puggioni Frey, Andreolli, Dainelli, Acerbi, Drame Guani, L.Rigoni, Cofie Thereau, Paloschi | AC MILAN  Abbiati Abate, Mexes, Bonera, Constant Flamini, Muntari, Montolivo Niang, Balotelli, El Shaarawy |
The international break was an unwelcome pit stop for Massimiliano Allegri, with his AC Milan side on a run of three straight league wins.
However, with talisman Mario Balotelli scoring three times in two games against Brazil and Malta and defender Mattia De Sciglio receiving rave reviews on the back of his first Italy cap, the Rossoneri should be in good health as they bid to consolidate third spot.
The visitors go into the game without Nigel de Jong, Giampaolo Pazzini and Kevin-Prince Boateng through injury, while Gennaro Sardo, Nikos Spyropoulos and Mamado Samassa are all absent for Chievo.
