LIVE: AC Milan vs Juventus

LIVE: AC Milan vs Juventus

56' CLOSE! Milan don't clear their lines following the free-kick and Bentancur swings another cross into the box. He picks out Ramsey, who is unmarked at the far post, but he sends his effort into the side netting.

54' Ronaldo is quickly being closed down by the Milan defenders again, so he tries to poke the ball into Bentancur, who is making a run to the edge of the box. Kjaer reads it well though and gets across to intercept it.

52' Milan are enjoying the third-longest scoring streak in consecutive matches in Serie A, netting in their last 36. In the history of the competition, there have only been two longer streaks, both by Juventus (43 in 2014 and 44 in 2017).

50' Rabiot breaks following a Milan attack and he slots it into Ronaldo. He's quickly closed down by three Milan defenders but manages to squeeze the ball towards Dybala. There's too much on it though and Donnarumma comes out to clear it.

48' SAVE! Milan have made a bright start to the second half and Dalot tests Szczesny with the first chance of the half. He drills his shot low on goal from the edge of the box and the keeper gets down to push it away.

46' Milan get us back underway for the second half! 

Both managers will be fairly pleased with the performances so far, but Juventus were sloppy in their own half which let Milan in on goal so Pirlo will want that to change in the second half. As for Milan, they've created more chances, but Pioli will want them to be more clinical after the break.

It's level at the break between Milan and Juventus. The visitors came close when Chiesa rattled the post with his shot following a corner before the midfielder gave them the lead just minutes later when he latched onto Dybala's brilliant flick and found the bottom corner. Calabria equalised by picking out the top corner to finish a quick break by Milan.

45' + 1' HALF-TIME: MILAN 1-1 JUVENTUS.

45' Chiesa is being given a lot of space to run into down the right and he loops a deep cross into the box. He's looking to pick out Ronaldo at the far post, but it's too high and sails straight out of play.

43' Juventus are looking to put themselves quickly back in the lead and a pocket of space opens up for Ramsey on the edge of the box. There's no power on the shot though and it's a comfortable save for Donnarumma.

39' It's patient play from Juventus at the moment as they play out from the back and try to find a way in behind Milan. Frabotta makes a good run down the left, but there's no one up with him and he's forced to go backwards.

37' Chiesa has been involved in five goals against Milan in Serie A (two goals, three assists) - against no side has he had a hand in more goals in the competition.

35' GOOD SAVE! Hauge touches the ball onto Calhanoglu on the edge of the box, but it's just out of his reach and as Ramsey steps across to block him, he ends up sending the ball flying back towards his own goal. Szczesny dives across and manages to push it away.

33' Hauge squares the ball to Calabria on the edge of the box and he has time to take a touch and set himself before hitting the shot. He's looking for the top-right corner, but his shot is always rising and flies over the bar.

31' There are shouts from the Milan players for a penalty as they feel that it struck Bonucci's hand when he blocked Calhanoglu's shot. His arm was tight to his body though and the referee waves the claims away.

29' Juventus break quickly from a corner with Frabotta driving down the left. His cross is overhit but it comes out to Chiesa on the opposite side. He takes it around Hernandez before swinging the ball into the box, but this one is blocked by Kjaer.

27' GOOD SAVE! Ramsey gives the ball away cheaply and Calhanoglu intercepts it for Milan before playing in Leao. He's at a tight angle on the left of the box when he drills his shot on goal and Szczesny pushes it away at his near post.

26' Milan are keeping possession well at the moment as they try to open up some space to get in behind Juventus. Dalot cuts inside from the right to swing a cross into the box, but it's cleared by Bonucci.

24' SAVE! It's a great run through the middle by Chiesa who rides the challenge from Calabria to get to the edge of the box. He drills his shot on target and Donnarumma is there to parry it away.

22' CLOSE! Calhanoglu plays a good throughball into Leao and he turns away from Bonucci to open up a pocket of space just outside the box. He curls his effort towards the far top corner, but it's just wide of the post.

20' Juventus are on the attack again now and Milan just can't get close to them. They're asking for an offside against Ramsey, but it doesn't come, and he's running in on goal. He's waiting for support though which forces him wide and gives the hosts time to get back.

17' Juventus are starting to push forward quicker now and are getting in behind Milan more. Ramsey turns away from Kessie and tries to curl a pass into Dybala between the two defenders, but it's intercepted by Romagnoli.

15' OFF THE POST! Milan just can't clear the corner that was swung into the box and Juventus keep it alive to pick out Chiesa on the edge of the box. It's a great strike from him, and Donnarumma is beaten, but it rebounds back of the far post.

13' Having won 4-2 back in July 2020, Milan are looking to win back-to-back games against Juventus in Serie A for the first time since 2010, under Leonardo.

11' Milan are closing down Juventus high up the field and forcing them into mistakes. This time, Kessie nicks it off Rabiot in midfield, but his pass into Hauge is cut out by Danilo.

9' Dybala makes a driving run through midfield, getting away from three Milan defenders before going to ground, but the referee waves his claims for a free-kick away. The ball falls to Frabotta though and he fires his shot just over the bar.

7' SAVE! Bentancur's touch is poor and he has it nicked off him by Castillejo in his own box. He turns away from him before hitting a low shot to the near post, but Szczesny gets down to push it away.

6' Calhanoglu takes a corner short to Hauge and he drills a low shot across goal from the left of the box. De Ligt is in a good position though and blocks the shot ahead of Szczesny.

4' Leao is wide on the left when he's picked out by Romagnoli and he isn't closed down by the Juventus defenders. He steps away from Danilo to get to the edge of the box and tries to curl an effort to the far bottom corner, but it's just wide.

2' Frabotta does well to get away from Dalot on the left and cuts inside before squaring the ball back to Dybala. He hits the shot first time, but a deflection off Kjaer takes the power off it and it's a comfortable save for Donnarumma.

1' Dybala gets the game underway for Juventus! 

The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.

Milan have scored in each of their last 17 home games in the top-flight, a record for them since 2010 - the last time they failed to net in a home Serie A match came exactly one year ago today (0-0 v Sampdoria).

Andrea Pirlo makes just two changes to the team that beat Udinese, with Frabotta and Rabiot coming into the starting line-up. McKennie starts on the bench, while Alex Sandro is also unavailable after a positive coronavirus test.

Stefano Pioli makes three changes to his side after their win over Benevento at the weekend as he brings in Hernandez, Castillejo and Hauge. Diaz drops to the bench, Sandro Tonali misses out through suspension and Ante Rebic is unavailable after testing positive for coronavirus.
