Latest information on Venezia vs AC Milan's squad
Milan coach Sergio Conceicao, having finally found a successful squad formula, is expected to continue with his familiar 3-4-3 formation, although he may make a few minor personnel changes.
Matteo Gabbia was forced off midway through the win over Inter with a neck injury, so Malick Thiaw is available to replace him in defence. Up front, Tammy Abraham and Santiago Gimenez – who has recently recovered from injury – are both available to replace Luka Jovic if needed.
Only Emerson Royal remains sidelined, while right-back Kyle Walker has returned to full training following elbow surgery.
As for Venezia, they will be without Richie Sagrado, Michael Svoboda and number one goalkeeper Filip Stankovic – who is on loan from Inter.
In that context, Andrei Radu - who used to play for Inter and indirectly helped Milan win the Scudetto - will continue to start in goal.
Daniel Fila returns from a one-match suspension and will compete for a starting spot in attack with Christian Gytkjaer and Mirko Maric.

Latest football commentary on Venezia vs AC Milan
After a tense first leg that ended in a draw, Milan enter their fifth and final Derby della Madonnina of the season when they take on Inter Milan in the second leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final on Wednesday.
Both teams lost in Serie A last week, and they met again at San Siro, where Luka Jovic shone, helping the Rossoneri win both the match and on aggregate, and complete the season unbeaten against the Nerazzurri.
A stunning 3-0 win – capped by another goal from star man Tijjani Reijnders – secured a 4-1 aggregate victory and sent Milan into the final.
However, before facing Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico next month, Sergio Conceicao's inconsistent side must try to complete a disappointing Serie A campaign without losing any more momentum.
Last week, Milan lost to Atalanta BC – a team from the same Lombardy region – for the fourth time in five meetings, all but ending their slim hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. In fact, winning the Coppa Italia is now their most likely route back to European football.
Milan are currently five points behind eighth-placed Fiorentina, with several other teams jostling for a European place next season.
Although Conceicao's reign – which could end as early as next June if the rumours are true – began with victory over Inter in the Super Cup final, a major rebuild in the summer seems imminent.
Meanwhile, Venezia's post-season path remains two-pronged, with recent results rekindling their relegation hopes.
Having seemed dead in the water in February, Eusebio Di Francesco's side have lost just one of their last eight games – despite drawing six – and have closed the gap to safety to just one point.
Victory over bottom side Monza also ended Venezia's 14-game winless run, but they missed the chance to win two games in a row when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Empoli last weekend.
Having dropped the most points from a winning position in Serie A this season (28), Venezia are still in serious danger – but with five games remaining they still have a chance of avoiding relegation.
Having lost 0-4 at San Siro in September, Venezia have now lost four straight to Milan, conceding 13 goals, so there is little chance of improvement in Sunday's game.
