Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Serie A fixture between Atalanta and AC Milan. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick off is at 19:45 GMT.

Of course, there’s no sign of Zlatan Ibrahimovic for AC Milan this evening. The Swedish striker has been sidelined for quite some time and will miss the Euros for his country.

AC Milan have reason to be optimistic here.. Indeed, Pioli’s side have kept a clean sheet in their last four league matches. A fifth one in a row would help them.

Another Juventus goal! Morata has scored a fourth for Juventus in their match against Bologna and so that means AC Milan reallt need to win this one to stay in the top four.

The first yellow card is shown to Freulier for a foul on Calhanoglu.

A change for Atalanta at the break and Muriel is on for the second half.

This was AC Milan's opener!

A longer half time interval than usual as all referees across Serie A wait for each other to start the second half. AC Milan have the narrow advantage in this crucial fixture!

The second half is under way! AC Milan have a 1-0 lead over Atalanta in this Serie A fixture!

HALF TIME: Atalanta 0-1 AC Milan - Kessie's penalty is the difference between the two teams at the break, although there has been very little between them in terms of general play.

There will be one minute of stoppage time played at the end of the first half.

Gasperini is fuming on the touchline. Not sure what about. It was a clear penalty kick for the away side. In fact, the Atalanta manager has been shown a yellow card for his protests.

There hasn't been much between these two teams in the first half, but AC Milan have their nose ahead. What will be the response from Atalanta? Will they attack a bit more?

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Atalanta 0 AC Milan 1 (42 mins - Franck Kessie pen). A huge goal for AC Milan and Kessie is the one who has scored it! Brilliant composure from the central midfielder who kept his composure and passed the ball into the bottom, left-hand corner of the Atalanta net! That's the goal Pioli's side needed!

Gasperini and the Atalanta players can't believe that AC Milan have been awarded a penalty kick, but the replays show it was a stonewall decision! Theo was completely cleaned out!

PENALTY KICK TO AC MILAN! Theo is felled inside the area by Maehle and the referee points to the spot!

Big decision! For a moment it looked like Leao could be clean through on goal, but he went to ground under pressure from Romero. The man in yellow decides there was no foul!

Not going to lie, I expected a bit more from this match. There's still time for it to burst into life, but AC Milan know they might need all three points to finish in the top four, right?

The omens are good for Atalanta this evening. They have won their last seven matches at home. However, will Gasperini’s side take their eye off the ball now they have secured a top four place?

The referee has a word with Gasperini on the touchline. The Atalanta manager has called for cards to be shown. He just needs to calm down. His players need him at the side.

Theo goes down and wins a freekick, but replays show there wasn't much contact with the AC Milan left back. The fact I'm bringing you this update tells you how little is happening...
