Jamie Vardy leads the line alongside Federico Bonazzoli as Cremonese host Lecce in Sunday’s early Serie A kick-off.
The Englishman bagged the first brace of his Serie A career last time out, helping his side to an impressive 3-1 victory away against the Champions League-chasing Bologna at the Dall’Ara.
That brings him up to four goals from nine outings in Serie A so far this term, the same tally as his strike partner, Bonazzoli, who has four from 10.
Davide Nicola has only made one change following the 3-1 Bologna victory, replacing Giuseppe Pezzella with Romano Floriani Mussolini at left wing-back.
Lecce claimed a 2-1 victory over Torino last time out in the league, and have kept exactly the same starting line-up for Sunday’s match against Cremonese.
Nikola Stulic leads the line for Eusebio Di Francesco’s side, supported by Santiago Pierotti, Medon Berisha and Lameck Banda.
Kick-off is due at 11.30 GMT.
