Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Serie A clash between Milan and Juventus. Team news to follow...

PENALTY APPEAL! Benatia uses his hand inside the box to stop Higuain's run and the referee is going to having a look at the replay. VAR could prove significant here.

Benatia goes into the book for a late and nasty tackle on Bakayoko who is down and in some distress.

SAVE! Szczensny makes his first save of the night, but it's comfortable for him. Suso lines up a left-footed shot from distance, but it's going to take something special to beat the Juve shot-stopper from there.

Cancelo is looking for Ronaldo at the far post with an arching cross but he over-cooks his delivery.

Milan are playing with some fear. They are gifting the ball to Juventus too many times in midfield, inviting needless pressure.

OUCH! Ronaldo and Pjanic are over it. The latter wins the argument and he smashes the ball straight into the face of Zapata who may need a moment or two.

Ronaldo is going nowhere but is bundled over by Kessie and Milan concede a needless free-kick on the edge of the box.

MANDZUKIC HEADER! The Croatian, again, wriggles away from his marker to meet a cross from Cancelo, but this time he can only head straight at Donnarumma.

Juventus continue to enjoy the lion's share of possession and win another corner. Pjanic delivers but Higuain is back to fulfil his defensive duties and clears with his head.

WHAT WAS THAT?! Chiellini, of all people, curls in a cross with the outside of his left-foot! Benatia heads over, but that would have been special.

Ronaldo has now moved to the right flank, with Dybala going left. The Portuguese is outnumbered on the flank and does well to force a corner.

The early signs suggested that Bakayoko is lacking confidence, but he produces a lovely tackle in midfield just now to win the ball back for Milan.

Ronaldo is hogging the touchline on that left-side, looking dangerous every time he gets a hold of the ball.

Ronaldo gallops to the by-line and drills in a low cross, but Milan hack it clear at the near post.

That was Mandzukic's SIXTH goal of the season. The Croatian is really enjoying himself of late.

That would have been a carbon-copy of the opening goal.

GREAT DEFENDING! Another dangerous cross is fizzed in searching for Mandzukic but this time Romagnoli does well to make the interception.

Here come Milan on the attack, led by the summer signing Higuain who has a point to prove against his former employers. He races forward on the left, but can't quite pick out a team mate with his pull-back.

A trademark header by Mandzukic, but it's dreadful defending from the hosts. Alex Sandro floats in a lovely cross to the back post, the Croatian leaps like a salmon above Rodriguez, and heads it powerfully past the helpless Donnarumma.

OVER! A first glimpse of Ronaldo but he rifles a volley over the top from 25 yards. The Milan fans enjoyed that!
