Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere return to the Atalanta starting XI against troubled Lazio, who reshuffle with Mattia Zaccagni and Boulaye Dia upfront.
It kicks off at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).
You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s five Serie A games on the Liveblog.
Atalanta are unbeaten in Serie A this season, but only won two matches along with four stalemates.
The injury crisis is beginning to calm down for Ivan Juric, who has De Ketelaere, Nicola Zalewski, Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini back in the squad.
He is still missing Raoul Bellanova, Odilon Kossounou, Sead Kolasinac and Mitchel Bakker.
The big surprise is that Lookman gets his first start of the season after that chaotic summer where he tried to force a transfer to Inter and went AWOL from training.
Lazio have huge problems to deal with, as on top of the transfer embargo, they have Taty Castellanos, Nicolò Rovella, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Luca Pellegrini and Samuel Gigot injured.
At least Mattia Zaccagni, Boulaye Dia and Matias Vecino are back in the squad, albeit not at 100 per cent.
The lack of alternatives means Toma Basic is brought back into the fold.
Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Djimsiti, Hien, Ahanor; Zappacosta, Ederson, Pasalic, Bernasconi; De Ketelaere, Sulemana; Lookman
Lazio: Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Tavares; Guendouzi, Cataldi, Basic; Cancellieri, Dia, Zaccagni
