Two clubs in opposite halves of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between AC Milan and Livorno. The first-division clash scheduled for 9 a.m. ET will be held at the San Siro in Milan and can be live streamed here free.
Though AC Milan enter today's match sitting eighth in the Serie A table, manager Clarence Seedorf has urged his players to remain focused on the task at hand. A spot in the UEFA Europa League is increasingly plausible if the club extends its five-match unbeaten run (h/t to Goal). "The results are important and the good work done by the team has brought us out of a negative period. Now we want to extend our winning streak," Seedorf said.
"We didn't play well against Catania and these are things that can happen. The team played with the right spirit, though, and Catania are a better team than their league position suggests," he added.
"We're pushing for a place in the Europa League, but as sportsmen we always want to go further."
