AC MILAN Abbiati  Bonera, Mexes, Thiago Silva, Mesbah Aquilani, Van Bommel, Nocerino Emanuelson Ibrahimovic, El Shaarawy

ROMA   Stekelenburg Taddei, Kjaer, Heinze, Jose Angel Gago, De Rossi, Pjanic Totti Borini, Osvaldo

AC Milan have a seemingly endless list of names on the sidelines, as Alexandre Pato, Filippo Inzaghi, Rodney Strasser, Ignazio Abate, Robinho and Flavio Roma, Mathieu Flamini and Antonio Cassano are all out of contention.

With that to contend with, plus the suspension of Luca Antonini, three changes are set to be made from the 2-2 draw with Juventus in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg on Tuesday, as Daniele Bonera, Mark van Bommel and Antonio Nocerino are waiting in the wings.

Meanwhile for Roma, they are also likely to make minimal alterations from the side that picked up a 1-0 win against Genoa earlier in the week. Miralem Pjanic and Francesco Totti should come into the XI at the expense of Leandro Greco and Erik Lamela.

However, defensive pair Nicolas Burdisso and Juan are not expected to return to fitness until the latter stages of the season.
