Predicting the AC Milan lineup to face Inter in the Champions League semi-final second leg.

AC Milan must overturn a 2-0 deficit if they are to avoid handing rivals Inter a place in the Champions League final when they square off on Tuesday.

A drop in form and an accumulation of injuries to key players has left Milan with an uphill battle but Stefano Pioli will not have given up hope and will demand a huge response from the Rossoneri at San Siro.

Here's how the boss could set up.

AC Milan predicted lineup vs Inter (4-2-3-1)

GK: Mike Maignan - This run to the semi-final has allowed casual followers of Milan to see just how good Maignan truly is.

RB: Davide Calabria - A hefty rest last time out against Spezia suggests Calabria will be Pioli's preferred starter on the right.

CB: Fikayo Tomori - Premier League clubs are keeping a close eye on Tomori, whose value could soar with a big performance here.

CB: Simon Kjaer - Kjaer appears to have commanded a starting spot at just the right time of the season.

LB: Theo Hernandez - Theo is one of the game's best left-backs and can make a real claim for that honour with a decisive showing against Inter.

DM: Sandro Tonali - Scouts from across Europe are keeping an eye on Tonali, who is one assist away from double figures in all competitions.

DM: Tommaso Pobega - Injuries to Rade Krunic and Ismael Bennacer could see 23-year-old Pobega given the biggest start of his career.

RM: Alexis Saelemaekers - This is an uncertain spot for Pioli, but injuries have left him with few options and Saelemaekers may get the nod as a result.

AM: Brahim Diaz - Shifting to a central role following Bennacer's injury, Diaz continues to prove his worth to Milan.

LM: Rafael Leao - Back in training on Sunday, Leao probably isn't fully fit but this game is so big that risks may have to be taken. Milan need him.

ST: Olivier Giroud - A classy performance in the first leg but Giroud will need to step it up even more if Milan are to secure a win.
