Welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text coverage of AC Milan's Serie A visit to Udinese. Stay tuned here for all the updates, with kick off at 7.45pm GMT.

With half an hour to go until kick off, here are the two teams for those who missed them:

Udinese: Silvestri, Becao, Nuytinck, Perez, Soppy, Arslan, Walace, Makengo, Molina, Deulofeu, Beto.

Milan: Maignan, Florenzi, Tomori, Romagnoli, Hernandez, Bakayoko, Bennacer, Saelemaekers, Diaz, Krunic, Ibrahimovic.

We go into this game tonight with Milan top of the table - 38 points, only one clear of Inter in second. Udinese meanwhile find themselves in more of a troubling position - 15th - on 16 points. But were they to upset the balance and the odds with a win here, they would move above Sampdoria into 14th and eke away from the relegation battle below them. Milan with a win would go four points clear at the summit, momentarily at least.

Milan, meanwhile, are in a 4-2-3-1: Mike Maignan keeps his place after his return to the team, and he's protected by a quartet of Alessandro Florenzi and Theo Hernandez at full-back, with Fikayo Tomori and Alessio Romagnoli in the middle. Ismael Bennacer and Tiemoue Bakayoko hold the midfield as the double pivot, with Brahim Diaz more advanced as the 10. Rade Krunic is shifted to the left with Alexis Saelemaekers, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be the focal point up top for the visitors.

3-5-2 for the home side. Marco Silvestri is shielded by a back three of Rodrigo Becao, Bram Nuytinck and Neuhen Perez, with Brandon Soppy and Nahuel Molina as wing-backs. Walace, Arslan and Makengo are the three in the engine room, behind the striking duo of Gerard Deulofeu and Beto.

Kowalski, analysis!

And finally we have the Udinese side.
