Milan can secure their first Italian title since 1999 tomorrow by defeating their most dogged pursuers in the race for the Scudetto. With three matches left in the Serie A programme, Roma can still deprive Carlo Ancelotti's side of the crown but they visit the San Siro aware that a win for Milan will finally take them out of reach.

Real Madrid's Luis Figo has been cleared to play in tonight's vital visit to Deportivo la Coruña.

Leaders Valencia, one point ahead, are at home to mid-table Real Betis tomorrow.

In France, leaders Lyon face a tough test at Bordeaux. Lyon lead by only three points from Paris St-Germain, who face Strasbourg.
