Good evening everyone and welcome to LIVE updates from Serie A, where AC Milan are hosting Brecia at the San Siro.

Boateng down after a tackle from Berardi - looks like the Brescia man stepped on his foot.

Robinho and Zebina go shoulder-to-shoulder before the Brazilian barges his defender away. Foul for Brescia.

Every Brescia pass looks hurried - Milan are pressuring well. They break and Ibra picks out Robinho for a chance on goal from distance.

Caracciolo and Nesta tussle in the box as Brescia make a rare advance forward. Looks like Caracciolo caught a kick in an area of his body he would prefer not to have kicked as Nesta cleared. Ouch.

This is all looking very comfortable for Milan, whose play is being orchestrated by Pirlo and Ibrahimovic at the moment.

Remember, victory today would put Milan a full ten points clear of city rivals Inter tonight. By early December. Not even in their wildest dreams would the Rossoneri have hoped for that.

Abate offside there as Ibrahimovic tries to play him in, but this is an effervescent start from the league leaders.

Abate puts in a good cross from the right - heaeded away by Kone but straight to Pirlo. Can he pull the trigger for Milan? No - he slips at the vital moment.

Exuberant celebrations from Boateng, which fans at Portsmouth may remember - and why not? Milan have the perfect start.

MILAN SCORE! KEVIN-PRINCE BOATENG! It's his first in Italy - and it's made by Ibrahimovic, who spins to the byline and slips a good low cross his way. Boateng is under pressure, but he does the business!

Gattuso tries a long ball for Boateng which was perhaps a little ambitious. Daprela has possession for the visitors, who will need to settle quickly.

Robinho tries to trick his way down the left wing but has no luck. The pitch looks superb - all the better in comparison to the abomination in Verona we saw earlier in Serie A.

Away we go! It's Milan who kick this one off.

The players are out on the pitch. Kick-off is not far away.

Hard to believe, but Milan have not won Serie A since 2004-5. It looks like this might be their best chance since then under new boss Massimiliano Allegri.

Bad news for Inter last night, too, after Lazio beat them 3-1 at the Stadio Olimpico.

Earlier today Roma let a two-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 at Chievo on a shocker of a pitch.
