Sassuolo v AC Milan LIVE: Berani denied first half penalty as Maignan saves to keep scores level

Maignan saves Berardi's penalty! It remains all square.

Kyriakopoulos is sandwiched in between Saelemakers and Florenzi as he drives into the area and is brought down.

Big chance Sassuolo!

He concedes a fould inside the Milan box as he tries to steal the ball off of a brave Hernandez.

It was an unconvincing effort after a decent Milan build-up.

Leao was the driving force as Milan carved the hosts open, but Diaz's shot from outisde the box was never going to threaten Consigli's goal.

And Consigli was beaten from outside the box! It's over the bar by inches.

Milan knocking on the door.

Leao fires over an effort from 10 yards out.

He drove towards the backline before playing Pobega with a through ball, but Pobega's effort was saved and the ball fell to Leao, who got his shot all wrong.

It's a poor set-piece from Milan, who see their effort cleared by the head of full-back Toljan.

He takes on Thorstvedt with ease on the right flank and looks inside for Giroud, who draws a foul 35 yards from goal.

Free kick Milan.

They've controlled the opening couple minutes with comfortable possession football.

A slight clash off the pitch between Florenzi and Rogerio occurs as the pair race for the dead ball, which gets the crowd fired up!

Sassuolo get us underway!

Both sides are in decent form. Sassuolo are unbeaten in their previous two outings, whilst Milan are yet to lose in Serie A this season.

Who takes this one?

We're five minutes away from the action at the MAPEI Stadium!

Some breaking transfer news from across Europe...

Sergio Reguilon has joined Atletico Madrid on loan from Spurs for the rest of the season.

According to reports, Tiemoue Bakayoko is close to terminating both his AC Milan loan and his Chelsea contracts.

He starts on the bench tonight, but could it be his last matchday involvement with Milan?

The club loaned Giacomo Raspadori and sold Gianluca Scamacca earlier in the window, and have put all their eggs in one basket with Berardi.

He leads the line for the hosts who are looking to make it three games wihtout a loss after a humbling defeat to Juventus on the opening day.

Kjaer returns to a rotated starting eleven with this weekend's Milan derby in mind. The defender ruptured his ACL nine months ago, and makes his first competitive start since.

Pobega makes his full debut for Milan after returning from his season-long loan spell at Torino.
