AC Milan face Napoli at the Stadio Sao Paolo on Saturday.

It's Milan's first game of the 2018/19 Serie A season following the recent bridge disaster in Genoa led to the postponement of their opening game.

Gennaro Gattuso has big decisions to make ahead of the match. Milan made several new signings over the summer so he'll have to decide whether they will make their debuts. He'll also need to pick a replacement for Hakan Calhanoglu, who is serving a one-match ban.

Here's how Gattuso's Milan could line up.

1. Goalkeeper & Defenders

Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK) - Milan recently signed Pepe Reina on a free transfer from Napoli but he's likely to only play backup to Donnarumma this season.

Davide Calabria (RB) - Andrea Conti, Milan's first choice right-back, is still recovering from a knee injury last season that his since required two surgeries. This means 21-year-old Calabria will start against Napoli.

Mateo Musacchio (CB) - Musacchio is set to fill the gap in Milan's defence left from Leonardo Bonucci's return to Juventus in the summer.

Alessio Romagnoli (CB) - Milan's capitano will lead from the back against Napoli.

Ricardo Rodriguez (LB) - Uruguayan left-back Diego Laxalt joined Milan this summer and will provide competition for Rodriguez. But Rodriguez is still Milan first choice left-back, for now.

2. Midfielders

Lucas Biglia (DM) - The Argentine had a 2018 World Cup to forget as his country were knocked out in the round of 16. He'll be looking to bounce back in Milan's match against Napoli.

Franck Kessie (CM) - Rumours this summer suggested Kessie was on his way out of Milan - Wolves apparently had a £53m bid rejected - but Gattuso will be glad he stayed.

Tiemoue Bakayoko (CM) - Milan signed Bakayoko on loan from Chelsea and he looks set to start alongside Kessie in midfield this season.

Giacomo Bonaventura (LM) -  Calhanoglu's suspension means Bonaventura will likely play at left-wing.

Suso (RM) - He scored his first ever goal for Milan against Napoli two years ago, and will be wanting to score another on Saturday.

3. Forward

Gonzalo Higuain (ST) - Milan signed Higuain on loan from Juventus this summer. He's scored five goals in his last six games against Napoli and will be hoping to add to that tally in what will be his debut for Milan, should he start.
