Behind Enemy Lines: AC Milan | Big stage return for sleeping giants as potential Gini Wijnaldum replacement given chance to impress

To get the lowdown on AC Milan, the visitors to Anfield for tonight's big Champions League opener, Matt Addison speaks to Get Italian Football News editor Kaus Pandey. The match marks Milan's return to the group stages of Europe's premiere club competition for the first time since the 2013-14 season. It will also be the first time the teams have met since the Rossoneri beat Liverpool in the 2007 Champions League final to avenge their infamous defeat two years earlier in Istanbul. But what level are the current Milan team at? Kaus answers that and discusses midfielders Sandro Tonali and Franck Kessié, who have both been linked with moves to Liverpool, whose right-side could be kept busy this evening. Kaus explains that and also talks Zlatan Ibrahimović, the 39-year-old superstar who now looks set to miss the match through injury, plus the fellow veteran forward could replace him in the Milan starting line-up, Olivier Giroud.
