Milan Squad
Goalkeepers: Abbiati, Amelia, Gabriel
Defenders: Abate, Bonera, Constant, De Sciglio, Mexes, Rami, Silvestre, Zaccardo, Zapata, Emanuelson
Midfielders: De Jong, Kakà, Montolivo, Muntari, Poli, Saponara, Taarabt
Forwards: Balotelli, Pazzini, Robinho.

Muntari and De Sciglio return to the Matchday squad for AC Milan.

Livorno Squad
Goalkeepers: Aldegani, Anania, Bardi.
Defenders: Castellini, Coda, Emerson, Tiritiello, Piccini, Rinaudo, Valentini.
Midfielders: Benassi, Duncan, Greco, Mosquera, Mesbah, Bartolini.
Forwards: Belfodil, Borja, Emeghara, Paulinho, Siligardi.

Livorno are likely to line-up in their usual 3-5-2, with Luci, Mbaye and Biaganti absent from the squad. Given Honda's injury we are likely to see Poli take to the field with Kaka and Taarabt flanking Balotelli.

I personally want to see the return of Abate to the starting eleven. There can be absolutely no justification for fielding either Bonera or Zaccardo on the flank who offer nothing in attack and little advantage in defence. It is perhaps premature to bring De Sciglio back into the eleven if there is any lingering concern about his fitness, so I would expect to see Constant play at left back again as he is given time to prove that he belongs at Milan. I could have saved Seedorf a month of experimenting if he'd just asked me, but alas, we'll have to witness the results. With Seedorf's plaything, Michael Essien, still thankfully out with an injury, one would hope to see Montolivo justifiably maintain his place in the middle of the park.

For those concerned with capturing a Europa League place, this should be a match that we successfully grind out, however there is very little time left for Livorno to save themselves, so we should expect a spirited performance from our opponents, who successfully held us to a draw last December. I was hoping to see Seedorf use this time to experiment with Saponara and Cristante, or to allow Balotelli and Pazzini to play together from the start, however we are likely to see much of the same as before, which does carry the advantage of allowing the squad to build some much needed consistency.

With all due respect to the memory of Wiggles, I foresee a victory.

Would like to see Kaka given a rest and have Saponara start instead. Or deploy a Balo/Pazzo partnership. We have Roma on Friday, and if Kaka gets injured/tired then we'll face problems with no AM.

Also, i would've liked to see how Poli would do in the pivot but that ship has sailed i believe. Seems like Seedorf wants him to cycle with the 3 behind Balo.

Official Line-ups:

Milan: Abbiati; Abate, Mexes, Rami, Constant; De Jong, Montolivo; Taarabt, Kaka, Robinho; Balotelli

Milan bench: Amelia, Gabriel, Bonera, De Sciglio, Silvestre, Zaccardo, Zapata, Emanuelson, Muntari, Poli, Saponara, Pazzini

Livorno: Bardi; Valentini, Rinaudo, Castellini; Piccini, Benassi, Duncan, Mesbah; Greco; Paulinho, Emeghara

Livorno bench: Anania, Aldegani, Borja, Mosquera, Coda, Emerson, Siligardi, Belfodil, Bartolini, Tiritiello

I'd have liked to see Poli, however at the very least Robinho's presence will allow Kaka to operate from his preferred central position and having two true wingers may prove useful in breaking down a deep lying Livorno defence.

You better not dissapoint us dostoevsky, I have grown quite reliant on Casciavit's recent unbeaten streak.

We should win this. A loss against Inter Primavera will be unacceptable.

Cruel for Honda to get injured after he was getting better with each game.
