AC Milan vs. Bari: Live updates and commentary from the Coppa Italia clash

As expected, Allegri has decided to go with the 3-5-2 formation this evening. It’s worth noting that Pervis Estupinan, despite being challenged by Davide Bartesaghi, has got the nod from the gaffer and he will have a point to prove.

On the bench, Milan sure do have a lot of firepower with the likes of Ardon Jashari, Santiago Gimenez and Luka Modric. The new signings Zachary Athekame and Koni De Winter are also present, but they will likely not get any playing time.

Official Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Ricci, Fofana, Estupiñan; Pulisic, Leao

Bench: Pietro Terracciano, Pittarella, De Winter, Gimenez, Modric, Okafor, Jimenez, Chukwueze, Athekame, Jashari, Bartesaghi, Ivanov, Musah.

Official Bari XI: Cerofolini, Sibilli, Pagano, Bellomo, Moncini, Pereiro, Vicari, Dickmann, Braunoder, Nikolaou, Dorval.

Bench: Pissardo, De Lucci, Tripaldelli, Gytkjaer, Teixeira, Kassama, Rao, Manzari, Partipilo, Pucino, Verreth, Mane, Mavraj.
