It must be one of the biggest nights in Bournemouth history as Italian giants AC Milan are in town for the Europa League shock
Milan have won the Champions League seven times, while the Cherries were relegated to League Two as recently as 2010.
Their remarkable rise has taken off in European football and Marco Rose will be hoping for a famous win on the south coast.
Milan aren’t the force they used to be, but are still fourth in Serie A, despite incredibly winning just two of their 22 major European games in England.
This is how the sides line up.
