Yes there is. Or at least there was for the Napoli game. They've stopped the radio commentary though.

Here, for what it's worth, is calciomercato's probable starting lineup:


MILAN (4-3-3): Dida; Antonini, Senderos, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Gattuso, Emerson, Flamini; Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Pato

Not too happy about that midfield but Seedorf needs a rest so I'm sood with it. I'll expect Sheva and Pato to both drop deep

were going to lose 0-1

I don't think Senderos should be starting after having been on the shelf since the day we signed him.

The latest crackerjack reporting from Goal.com, from their match preview:

kalac

antonini - bonera - kaladze - jankulovski

emerson - seedorf - flamini

pato - ronaldinho

shevchenko

Braga coach Jorge Jesus has challenged his side to write their names into club folklore by downing the mighty AC Milan in Thursday's UEFA Cup clash at the San Siro.

Jesus is not underestimating the task facing his side in Italy, believing the Rossoneri are one of the favourites to win the competition.

However, he has not given up hope that they can cause an upset against the Serie A leaders - and for good reason.

"We have won all seven of our matches in Europe this season, scored 17 goals and not conceded,'' said Jesus.

"I would say they (Milan) are probably one of the favourites to win the tournament, and that's the enormity of our task.

"We have beaten a very good team like Portsmouth 3-0 in our opening group game.''

Braga have won their three away games in Europe this season by a 2-0 margin, something which will give coach Carlo Ancelotti something to consider going into the encounter.

Milan are overwhelming favourites to win Group E and sent a warning of their intentions with a 3-1 triumph at Heerenveen in their first group encounter.

The Italian side go into the game in buoyant mood after clinching top spot in the domestic standings for the first time in four years following their 1-0 weekend triumph over Napoli.

"Finally after four years of suffering we have made it,'' said Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf.

"It's an enormous satisfaction.

"We are being consistent with our results, we are competitive and we are showing what a great team we are.

"We must continue to do well.''

The Rossoneri have reason to be confident having avoided defeat since their 2-0 loss at Genoa on September 14.

Andriy Shevchenko will partner Filippo Inzaghi in Milan's attacking line while the Portuguese outfit welcome back Cesar Peixoto, who missed his team's last three games through injury.

Moreover, midfielder Luis Aguiar has recovered from an ankle problem sustained in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Academica.

(P.S. The fishdoll made me do it.)

Oh, my! How on earth did you misspell s with g? With the keys being so apart on the keyboard? That's got to be the most catastrophic English language mistake you've ever made! Joking, han! Joking.

On a serious note, though, yeah, the more players we can rest for the next game, the better. I want them thar 3 points, maties. And inter to draw (or lose) with Udinese (they're really in form). This way we can increase our lead.

JEFRI! Nice to see you back and so endlessly optomistic.

Gotta say that the projected lineup is a little...not necessarily confidence building. Hopefully one of the mids will steal Pirlo's brain and produce some creativity OR perhaps we'll find out that one of the strikers is secretly a world class trequartista.

Who gave you the right to be the grammer police on the forum??

I must have used my index finger instead of the 4th finger, that's why I got the s instead of the g.
And they're no THAT far apart. The g is only 2 keys away from the s.

Well Sheva has played that position for the Ukraine on many occasions and I'm sure Pato won't have any problems playing there

We've got an emoticon for that!

Somebody's got to do the dirty work of upholding the tradition of the English language, Han. And besides, it's grammar, at least that's the way I've been taught in police school. And since your pirate friend's away, there's no one to save you this time! Muahahaha!

*immitates evil laugh*

I appreciate you taking time out to make up a believe able story? And oh, they've very far apart: In the land of keyboards being 2 keys away can be deadly, if not lethal.

Ditto. In fact, I've seen him create dozens of chances for his teammates playing in that position for his NT. But reading the article Warchant posted above, I get a sinking feeling this match won't be a walk in the park (as most matches haven't been for us, recently, bar the friendlies). We'll need to work hard today.

Sorry but fishdoll is "he" or "she"?

Was wondering if you would notice the grammer mistake, see if I could p!ss you off some since you're so @n@l when it comes to spelling mistakes.

Still it's not like I wrote loot, instead of good. And thankyou for recognising the fact that I took time out of my busy life to make up a story about my keyboard mishaps

I don't think it will be a particulary hard match, they will try to attack because they are that kind of team, and with Sheva and Pato who both like to roam around find space and take shots, and Pippo up there putting in the deflections. I'm personally more worried about the defence. They will try to attack and with both Kaladze and Senderos trying to get back the feel of things after their injuries, especially Senderos who will still be trying to integrate into the team, I can see it becoming a tough evening for our defence

After last season's double losses to Atlanta and friends, I like to believe there is no easy match for this Milan team. Maybe sometimes down the future, when we've got a new generation of players, but not now. That's my motto!

Pato will be the one that's probably most comfortable in the situation since he's so fast and knows how to exploit spaces so well.

Hopefully Pato doesn't decide on turning a simple kick shot into a header and miss it again. On the replay I watched, the last miss against Napoli could easily have been turned into a very easy kick.

Well at that moment I couldn't imagine it to be as simple as that, in hindshight when you think about it he shouldn't have gone for the much more difficuilt diving header and made a simple tap in. Luckily for us we still ended up winning and it was a harmless miss

Love the 3 striker system. I think they will work well together

And no, han my friend, you can't make me police you for these grammar mistakes. No you can't make me! Got. To. Ignore! Gotta be strong! Can't hold on much longer! Urgh!
