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

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

Milan win a free-kick but it's wasted as Calhanoglu curls his delivery over everyone and it's catching practice for Szczesny.

Bakayoko has already misplaced two passes in the Milan midfield. Gattuso will be concerned with how his side have started.

WHOOPS! Abate puts his team into all sorts of trouble with a short back-pass but Donnarumma is off his line quickly to bail his defender out.

AC Milan are in a good run of form having won three on the bounce, but their recent record against Juve isn't pretty reading: they have lost 10 of their 11 meetings with the Old Lady.

KICK-OFF! Is there any better sight in world football than a packed-out San Siro stadium under the lights? A massive 90 minutes lie ahead!

Right then, we are only five minutes away from an old rivalry renewed between Italy's two most successful clubs. Hold on tight, this could be tense!

DID YOU KNOW? Allegri has recorded seven victories in eight Serie A games at the helm of Juventus against Milan.

He has faced Gennaro Gattuso only twice as coaches, with Allegri coming out on top in a 3-1 win in Turin last season, and in a 4-0 victory for Bianconeri in the 2018 Coppa Italia final.

Juventus may have made their best ever start to a Serie A campaign, but the Old Lady tasted defeat for the first time this season on Wednesday night when they were beaten on home soil by Manchester United in the Champions League.

If they can bounce back with a victory this evening, Allegri's side will open up a six-point gap at the top of the table going into the international break.

It's disappointing but the defender has been benched against his former employers. Instead, Medhi Benatia plays at centre-back.

In attack, Cristiano Ronaldo is partnered with Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic.

The 31-year-old has recovered from a back injury and features against his former club Juventus. He partners Samu Castillejo in the AC Milan attack, who comes in for the injured Patrick Cutrone.

In defence, Ignazio Abate is given the nod, with Davide Calabria still nursing an injury.

Starting XI: Szczesny, Cancelo, Benatia, Chiellini, Alex Sandro, Benancur, Pjanic, Matuidi, Dybala, Mandzukic, Ronaldo.

Starting XI: G Donnarumma, Abate, Zapata, Romagnoli, Rodriguez, Suso, Kessie, Bakayoko, Calhanoglu, Castllejo, Higuain.
