AC Milan head coach Sergio Conceicao has named his starting line-up ahead of a must-win game against Fiorentina at San Siro tonight.
Milan draw 1-1 against Inter in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final on Wednesday night, and at present the domestic cup is their most realistic route into a European competition for next season.
Nevertheless, the Rossoneri have the duty to try rack up as many points as possible, even if four defeats in their last six Serie A games has put them nine points away from fourth spot.
