The Gunners have lost four games in a row in all competitions and manager Arsene Wenger goes into the match in Milan under intense pressure.
He makes a big tactical decision by going to a 4-3-3 from the 3-4-3 he has been using recently, with Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi starting at centre-back.
With Nacho Monreal and Hector Bellerin both injured Sead Kolasinac and Calum Chambers start in the full-back positions.
Granit Xhaka, Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey start as the midfield three with Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Mesut Ozil and Danny Welbeck starting further forward.
The in-form Cutrone starts up front with Hakan Calhanoglu and former Liverpool man Suso either side of him.
Gennaro Gattuso also goes with a 4-3-3 with Franck Kessie, Lucas Biglia and Giacomo Bonaventura in midfield.
