Rafael Leao will likely line up against Trent Alexander-Arnold

Today's AC Milan vs Liverpool live stream is the definition of European soccer heritage, as San Siro serves up one of the most celebrated fixtures in Champions League history

For Arne Slot, the honeymoon is over. The Dutchman essentially picked up where Jurgen Klopp left off, which was well and good when his tenure started with three routine victories, not so much now. The wastefulness and panic of old were on full display during the uninspired defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, leaving some onlookers to openly question when, or if, anything is actually going to change.

New Milan coach Paulo Fonseca was facing calls for the sack ahead of the Rossoneri's tension-busting 4-0 victory over Venezia at the weekend. It's going to take more than a thrashing of Serie A's bottom-most team to forget about the messy defeat and pair of draws that preceded it, but it's a start. Get the better of Liverpool, however, and he'll start feeling a whole lot better. Rafael Leao will surely be key to his plans tonight, not least because the swashbuckling winger will likely line up opposite the defensively suspect Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Whenever these two sides meet in the Champions League, we are reminded of the all-time classic they put out in Istanbul in 2005 where the Reds clinched the European title after beating Milan 3-2 on penalties.

Likewise, this fixture should not disappoint either, given the talent both teams possess.

AC Milan team news

After making rotations in the 4-0 win against Venezia over the weekend, the likes of Theo Hernandez, Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao should start against Liverpool.

Rossoneri manager Paulo Fonseca could deploy Tammy Abraham as the centre-forward, ahead of Noah Okafor and Alvaro Morata.

Ismael Bennacer, Malick Thiaw, Marco Sportiello and Alessandro Florenzi occupy the treatment room, while Davide Calabria remains a doubt.

AC Milan possible XI: Maignan; Emerson, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Hernandez; Reijnders, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek; Pulisic, Abraham, Leao.

Liverpool team news

Liverpool boss Arne Slot will be without midfield duo Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott due to a muscle injury and a broken foot, respectively.

As Federico Chiesa awaits his Reds baptism, Slot will be cautious with regard to the Italian's fitness.

Mohamed Salah will continue in attack, while Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez could also be included in the XI.

Liverpool possible XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez.

It is an iconic fixture that arguably headlines the first round of games in the revamped format, pitting the two contestants of one of the competition's most iconic ever finals together.

Milan are perhaps no longer the force of old but are steeped in European history and San Siro is always a difficult place on a European night.

Arne Slot’s side had looked strong favourites heading into the game but Saturday’s loss to Nottingham Forest may have detailed their progress somewhat.

These sides share a storied history, having met twice in the final within three seasons. Most famously, the Reds staged a stunning comeback from 3-0 down to level 3-3 and triumph on penalties in the 2004-05 final.

Milan, however, exacted their revenge in 2006-07 with a more straightforward 2-1 victory, thanks to two goals from Filippo Inzaghi, while Dirk Kuyt netted a late consolation for Liverpool.

AC Milan have had a mixed start to their domestic season but secured their first league win last weekend with a commanding 4-0 victory over Venezia. Meanwhile, Liverpool's perfect run under new boss Arne Slot came to a halt after a surprising 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest.

The Reds and AC Milan, who have won the Champions League and European Cup 13 times between them, have faced off on four occasions in the competition, including Liverpool's stunning Istanbul comeback in the 2005 final.

Outside of the blip against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool have had a largely brilliant start to their post-Jürgen Klopp era, with Arne Slot making an immediate impact at Anfield.

AC Milan, who last won the competition in 2007 after beating Liverpool in the final, have had a slow start in Serie A this season - however, a win against the Reds could kickstart their campaign.
