The match is scheduled for either the 15th or 22nd of January to set up tricky weeks for Milan as they will face Cagliari on the 12th, Udinese on the 19th and Brescia on the 26th in the league.

SPAL have already lost to Milan this season in the league as Suso scored the winner from brilliant free kick but Milan did not look entirely convincing at the time. SPAL currently sit in the relegation zone on the Serie A but have the ability for huge upsets as evidenced by their wins over Lazio and Parma as well as a draw with Napoli.
