Milan secured a much-needed win on Friday by beating Torino 1-0. The result put an end to a run of four consecutive defeats across all competitions. During that time they conceded four to Lazio, five to Sassuolo and lost 1-0 in the Milan derby.

Pioli's side sit fifth in Serie A and will be hoping for a turnaround in form in the second half of the season.

The Spurs manager previewed the game ahead of kick-off to the club's media.

“It will be a tough game. We are talking about a team that last season won the league, and, in Italy, to win when the other competitors are Inter, Juventus, Napoli, Roma, Lazio, it means you did something special...The atmosphere will be an important atmosphere, because to play in the San Siro is incredible, you enjoy this, but, at the same time, it can put you under a lot of pressure. We have to face this game in the right way from the start until the end.”

Portuguese attacker Rafael Leao leads Milan for both goals scored (8) and assists provided (5) in Serie A.

In the UEFA Champions League though, Leao has two assists but just the one goal this season and will be looking to show up on a huge night at the San Siro tonight.

Spurs confirmed yesterday that Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur will be out for the rest of the season. Spurs said the player had "ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee" and that "The midfielder will undergo surgery before beginning his rehabilitation with our medical staff."

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has a fantastic record against AC Milan.

Conte has won eight of his last nine games against the Rossoneri and on his last three visits to the San Siro to play Milan, his side have won.

Spurs' form picked up towards the end of January, winning three consecutive matches across all competitions - including a 1-0 win against Manchester City. This good run came to a screeching halt this weekend however when Leicester City thrashed them 4-1. Antonio Conte will be hoping his side can get back to winning ways tonight.

3,236 days after losing 4-1 to Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16, Milan are once again playing in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League! Milan finished as runners-up in Group E behind Chelsea, picking up 10 points from six matches.
