Lucas Paqueta makes his AC Milan debut as the Rossoneri take on Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia Round of 16 at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
The Brazilian arrived at Milan in a high-profile move from Flamengo and is thrown straight in from the start, slotting in behind Gonzalo Higuain. Meanwhile, Hakan Calhanoglu and Samu Castillejo provide the width either side of Paqueta.
Sampdoria turn to Fabio Quagliarella up front and he is joined by Gianluca Caprari, as new arrival Manolo Gabbiadini is not yet available.
Karol Linetty, Albin Ekdal and Denis Praet make up the three-man midfield behind Gaston Ramirez in a trequartista role.
Sampdoria: Rafael; Sala, Colley, Tonelli, Murru; Praet, Ekdal, Linetty; Ramirez; Quagliarella, Caprari
AC Milan: Reina; Abate, Zapata, Romagnoli, Rodriguez; Kessie, Bakayoko; Castillejo, Paqueta, Calhanoglu; Higuain
