The match, which takes place at Milan's Centro Sportivo Vismara, has a 1.30pm kick-off UK time at it will be live on BT Sport.

We currently trail the leaders of the group and today's opponents by three points with top spot securing a direct place in the last-16 while group runners-up face a play-off against a side from the Domestic Champions pathway.

Debutants

The last group-stage game saw Brand field a number of players who featured in this competition for the first time.

Tudor Mendel-Idowu, Harrison McMahon and Josh Acheampong played big parts in their first taste of this competition with the latter two being first-year scholars.

With the manager not being afraid to utilise players who have never featured in the competition, others in the squad will be gearing to take their chance if called upon.

Last time out

The reverse fixture between these two sides saw us play out a 1-1 draw where we were made to rue our missed chances.

The Italians took the lead through Jan-Carlo Simic as he was in the right place at the right time to prod home from five yards out.

A short while after the hour mark was when we responded as a flowing counter-attack which was finished off by Leo Castledine brought us level in the tight contest.

There were chances to get a victory but we had to settle for a point.

Milan currently sit top of our group on five points after three matches scoring the most amount of goals in the group too. This means that we will need to be wary of the threat they pose.
