Nikola Krstovic hopes to build on a midweek brace with Charles De Ketelaere, as Atalanta aim to climb the table against unpredictable Torino.
It kicks off at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo at 19.45 GMT (20.45 CET).
You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games on the Liveblog.
La Dea had a dismal start to the campaign, but have been revitalised since Raffaele Palladino took over and climbed into seventh place after back-to-back big wins over Roma and Bologna.
Krstovic scored both goals in that midweek round after Gianluca Scamacca was a late injury absentee, so retains his place upfront with support from De Ketelaere and Nicola Zalewski.
Sead Kolasinac is also not fully fit, with Raoul Bellanova and Mitchel Bakker long-term cases, plus Ademola Lookman and Odilon Kossounou at AFCON.
Marco Brescianini has completed his transfer to Fiorentina.
Torino are deeply unpredictable, coming off a surprising 2-1 home loss to Udinese.
Cesare Casadei scored in his last two Serie A games, but is suspended this evening, so Gvidas Gineitis returns to the starting XI.
Marcus Pedersen, Zanos Savva and Perr Schuurs are not fully fit, with Adam Masina at the Africa Cup of Nations.
It is an emotional return to Bergamo for ex-Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata, who has had injury nightmares in recent years.
He gets support from Nikola Vlasic in a more advanced role and Cyril Ngonge.
