AC Milan know they will be Serie A champions if they win their final two games, beginning by hosting Atalanta.

Stefano Pioli’s side are two points ahead of rivals Inter Milan, who play Cagliari later on Sunday evening, and could thus secure the scudetto this weekend if both results go their way.

Atalanta, meanwhile, are hunting a Europa League spot, part of a group of three teams locked on 59 points and just three points back from Lazio, who currently occupy fifth place.

Roma and Fiorentina are also in the European qualification mix.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Serie A fixture.

AC Milan vs Atalanta will kick-off at 5pm BST on Sunday 15 May at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (more commonly known as San Siro) in Milan, Italy.

Team News

AC Milan are not believed to have any fresh injury concerns. Reports in La Gazzetta dello Sport suggest that Ismael Bennacer could start in midfield, with Franck Kessie again deployed slightly further forward. Simon Kjaer has been out since the end of last year after undergoing knee surgery and is on track to be back in action ahead of next season.

Gian Piero Gasperini received a fitness boost this week with all of Duvan Zapata, Giorgio Scalvini and Jose Palomino set to be available for this encounter, but it may come too soon for Giuseppe Pezzella and Rafael Toloi. Josip Ilicic, who took a break from the game to focus on his mental health, is a longer term absentee.
