AC Milan return to the San Siro this weekend to face promoted side Salernitana in Serie A on Saturday.
The Rossoneri are coming off the back of a huge 3-0 victory over Genoa on Wednesday, ending their three-game winless run in the top-flight.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring with a brilliant free-kick in the 10th minute before Junior Messias, who struck the winner against Atletico Madrid last week, struck a second-half brace.
Salernitana, meanwhile, have found life difficult on their return to Serie A after 23 years, languishing at the bottom of the table with just eight points from 15 games.
AC Milan vs Salernitana Head-To-Head
The sides have only met twice in the league before, with AC Milan winning both their 1998-99 Serie A clashes.
The Rossoneri won 2-1 in Salerno before a nervy 3-2 victory at the San Siro.

The Rossoneri's injury woes deepened after captain Simon Kjaer suffered a horrific knee injury in their win over Genoa in midweek.
Ismael Bennacer joined the list a day before the clash with Labyrinthitis, while Davide Calabria, Ante Rebic, Samu Castillejo, Olivier Giroud and Alessandro Plizzari are sidelined too.
Further updates can be expected from manager Stefano Pioli's pre-match press conference.
On the bright side, Alessio Romagnoli returns from his suspension and might fill in for Kjaer in the defense.
