Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Serie A match between Genoa and Milan at Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Milan are aiming to move to within two points of second-placed Napoli, Genoa start the day five clear of relegation.

Pazzini needs the magic spray as he receives treatment. His leg appeared to jar and he looks in some pain.

Daniele Portanova is the first man in the book when coming in from behind on Pazzini and catching his trailing leg. Not a pleasant one.

Constant runs out of space on the left so checks back for Sulley Muntari, who swings in a cross and sees it headed away.

Christian Zapata brings down Bertolacci just inside the box but the referee waves it away. Replays show it was a close one though - could easily have been given.

Milan see a cross from the left blocked as Pazzini fails to get on the end of it and Genoa clear. Milan have created very little.

Riccardo Montolivo with the free-kick but he gets far too much on the ball and sends it curling over and wide.

Constant drives in from the left but Cassani clumsily brings him to ground to give away the free-kick some 30 yards from goal.

Luca Antonelli gets a cross in from the left as Genoa apply more pressure but Abbiati claps the ball confidently.

Ooh, lovely stuff from Bertolacci. He finds space on the edge of the box with some silky skills and then fires in a bouncing effort that Abbiati saves at his near post.

Better from Genoa as they knock the ball around confidently.

Mattia Cassani tries to play in Cesare Bovo down the line and the defender does well to chase it down and keep the ball in play. Milan aren't expecting it but they recover.

Today's game was moved to the Friday to aid Milan in their quest to knock out Barca having won 2-0 at home in the first leg. They should be nice and fresh for Camp Nou.

Niang takes the ball off El Shaarawy and rolls his foot over it to lose a man, but his next touch takes the ball away from him and Genoa intervene.

The surface in Genoa is patchy and sandy but Milan appear to be gliding over it at present in a confident start. They have such a dangerous attack.

Milan press forward for the first time and Kevin Constant gets a dangerous cross away from the left, only for Sebastien Frey to get his hands to it.

Genoa knit a nice passing move together early on but Andrea Bertolacci can't get a shot away from 20 yards for the home side.

KICK OFF! Milan attacking right to left in their white change kit.

Out come the teams at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris as we prepare for a bit of Friday night action in Serie A. Fancy Milan to come out on top but former striker Marco Borriello could cause problems.

Genoa haven't actually been on terrible form with just one defeat in their past six outings, though that was their most recent game against Roma. Milan are undefeated in nine in all competitions, winning six.
