Milan get us under way here at the San Siro. The man in charge of the cards for today's encounter is Paolo Valeri.
Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE text commentary on today's Serie A clash between AC Milan and Hellas Verona from the San Siro. Kick off is at 2:00pm GMT.
Milan are on the trail for three points today in order to keep themselves in the mix with those vying for European football next season. Sinisa Mihajlovic's men are currently eighth and have won just one of their last four Serie A matches.
For Verona, on the other hand, they're still looking for their first Serie A win of the season and currently sit at the foot of the table. Luigi Delneri, who took over the Yellow-Blues at the start of the month, saw his new side lose to Empoli last time out.
TEAM NEWS: Mihajlovic has made two changes to the side which started Milan's 0-0 draw with Carpi in their last outing. Alessio Cerci and Juraj Kucka drop to the bench as Nigel De Jong and Luiz Adriano come into the first eleven for today's game. Youngster Alessandro Livieri is also amongst the substitutes.
TEAM NEWS: Delneri has made three alterations to the team which started Verona's 1-0 defeat at the hands of Empoli in their last game. Jocopo Sala, Rafael Marquez and Leandro Greco all get the chance to impress from the get-go this afternoon.
MILAN (4-4-2): Donnarumma; Abate, Alex, Romagnoli, De Sciglio; Niang, De Jong, Montolivo (c), Bonaventura; Luiz Adriano, Bacca.
Both sets of players are now stripped and raring to go as they leave the tunnel and enter onto the field here at the San Siro. We are just moments away from seeing the action start to unfold.
HALF TIME: MILAN 0-0 VERONA
No additional time gets added onto the first half here at the San Siro as the referee blows his whistle right on the 45th minute mark. It's still honours even here as both sets of players head down the tunnel for the interval.
Milan and Verona both had their chances in what was an even opening period at the San Siro. The hosts looked like scoring every time they played in Bonaventura, while the visitors had a couple of half opportunities from set plays.
FULL TIME: MILAN 1-1 VERONA
It finishes honours even here at the San Siro as Verona pick up their first point under Luigi Delneri. Luca Toni converted a second-half penalty to cancel out Carlos Bacca's earlier effort for 10-man Milan. Nigel De Jong was sent off for the hosts for giving away the spot kick.
That's all from us here and it has been a great pleasure talking you through all of today's action from the San Siro. We hope you can join us again very soon. Take care!
