Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Palermo's trip to the San Siro as Milan look to leapfrog Napoli into the second spot against a Rosanero side entrenched deep in the relegation mire. Kick off at 2.00pm UK.

And that's the game. Milan remain in third place given Napoli's 3-2 triumph over Atalanta, whilst Palermo remain deeply entrenched in the relegation mire. The visitors can take some positives from the game, but overall, the scoreline is a fair reflection of play.

Balotelli unleashes a powerful drive from an acute angle. It's a decent strike, but it drifts just over the bar.

Abate bursts down the right and wins a free kick after Aronica is adjudged to have clipped the right back near the corner flag.

Balotelli wins the ball on the right wing, but his cross into the box fails to find a wide-open Niang. Just inches in front of the Frenchman.

Three minutes of added time here.

Blood spurts from Fabbrini's mouth after being caught in the face by the knee of Traore. Receiving treatment now and he sheepishly gets back to his feet.

Some bright play from Illicic off a deep Palermo throw wins his side a corner. He's been a diamond in the rough today.

Balotelli wins it fairly in the midfield and as the Niang launches into full-stride down the left, the Italian unleashed a half-way line stike on goal. It goes out for a goal kick. Of course.

Milan knocking it around for fun now as an increasingly lethargic Palermo continue to chase shadows. Ball in the Milan midfield now, with Montolivo dictating the play.

Loose play by Traore sees Morganella steal the ball, but his cross is cleared to safety by Bonera. Palermo seem to have lost their attacking instinct in the box and it's beginning to look dreary for the travelling support.

Boateng wincing in the dugout with an icepack planted on his shoulder. Slightly worrying for the Rossoneri faithful.

But as expected, the ball is cleared. Niang picks it up and makes a galloping 40 yard run before winning a throw deep in the Palermo half.

Nelson does well to force a corner from Di Sciglio there, as Palermo throw players forward into the box.

Double switch here. Boateng is replaced by Traore for Milan, whilst Donati is replaced by Viola for the visitors.

An excellent flick on from Balotelli unleashes Niang down the left channel, before the Frenchman drives a low cross into the box. Boateng is just inches away from making contact and it fizzes into the grateful arms of Sorrentino. Bright play from the youngster.

Niang launches into an impressive mazy run from the left flank, cutting into space to get a sight of goal. His shot is less exuberant however, and trickles well clear of the upright.

Game staring to settle now as both teams ease off the pressure. Milan in possession.

Balotelli clips Munoz flush in the face with a high boot. Palermo free kick.

Balotelli plays a lazy chip through to Muntari, which is cleared away by Von Bergen. A tad too casual, perhaps.

Palermo continue to battle though, taking the ball into the Milan half before Bonera makes an interception. Palermo heads drop as Milan bolt into the Palermo half.
