AC Milan will look to start afresh when they take on Empoli on Saturday after Stefano Pioli's men tasted their first Serie A defeat in 23 games at the hands of current leaders Napoli on the previous matchday.
With Inter and Roma both threatening to leapfrog them into the top five, the Rossoneri have had two weeks with the international break in between to devise a game plan for their trip to Empoli, who picked up their first win of the season against Bologna last time out.
Milan will also have an eye on their upcoming Champions League clash against Chelsea on Wednesday.

The international break has taken its casualties as France's Theo Hernandez and Mike Maignan picked knocks in the game against Austria, with the first-choice goalkeeper expected to be out for 'several weeks'.
Longer-term absentees Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Divoc Origi won't return either, but the outlook is more positive for Ante Rebic.
Olivier Giroud looks good to start in attack with support from Rafael Leao, who returns from a one-match ban following the sending off against Sampdoria.
