AC Milan vs. Sassuolo: Follow along live with our commentary

AC Milan are taking on Sassuolo for the Coppa Italia Round of 16 this evening, hoping to clinch their third consecutive win in all competitions. With it being a cup game, though, several of the ‘deputies’ are getting the chance from start. 

After beating Slovan Bratislava and Empoli, Milan have the chance to make it three consecutive wins in all competitions for the first time this season (!). Serie B leaders Sassuolo are the opponents and it should be an interesting game underneath the San Siro floodlights.

As said, Paulo Fonseca has (expectedly) decided to make some changes to the starting XI, giving the likes of Filippo Terracciano, Samuel Chukwueze and Tammy Abraham the chance from start.

You can follow the game live with our commentary below, as published on X. Unfortunately, we don’t have a watchalong for this clash – due to it being mid-week – but Lorenzo and Stefano will be back in action soon.
