Milan will look to close the gap between themselves and the top six by claiming all three points at home to Empoli on Saturday.

At the moment the Rossoneri are 10 points off the pace set by Napoli and six points adrift of Juventus who currently sit in sixth, though they do hold a game in hand over their rivals above.
