SASSUOLO V AC MILAN LIVE - GIROUD DOUBLE HELPS ROSSONERI WIN SERIE A TITLE FOR FIRST TIME IN 11 YEARS

As expected, Stefano Pioli has named an unchanged Milan side from the team that beat Atalanta 2-0 last weekend.

Playing 4-2-3-1, Olivier Giroud leads the line with an attacking trio of Rafael Leao, Rade Krunic and Alexis Saelemaekers behind him.

Sandro Tonali and Franck Kessie partner in midfield, and a back four of Davide Calabria, Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez sits in front of recently-crowned Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year Mike Maignan.

If Milan avoid defeat here, they win the title.

If Milan lose and Inter win against Sampdoria, which is taking place simultaneously, the title goes to the Nerazzurri.

One important thing to remember is that goal difference is not the tiebreaker in Serie A, but head-to-head.

Therefore, if the two sides finish level on points, Milan will still be crowned champions, despite having a significantly worse goal difference.

That’s thanks to their results in the Milan Derby earlier in the season, a 2-1 win in February and a 1-1 draw in November.

All clear? Thought so.

Hello from Reggio Emilia, where AC Milan can wrap up their first Serie A title in 11 years by avoiding defeat against Sassuolo.

Temperatures have soared to 33 degrees, the fans are making their voices heard, and we're just an hour away from kick-off here at a bouncing, boiling Mapei Stadium.
