The Sicilians have managed just one point from the last four rounds and new Coach Roberto De Zerbi has so far not particularly turned their campaign in the right direction.

The Sicilians have managed just one point from the last four rounds and new Coach Roberto De Zerbi has so far not particularly turned their campaign in the right direction.
The Friulani, on the other hand, have been revitalised under Gigi Del Neri and beat Pescara 3-1 last week.
Palermo are missing Giancarlo Gonzalez, Aleksandar Trajkovski, Norbert Balogh, Accursio Bentivegna and Sinisa Andelkovic.
There’s a change of system to 4-2-3-1 with Haitam Aleesami moved into a more advanced role with Alessandro Diamanti and Carlos Embalo, supporting centre-forward Ilija Nestorovski.
Udinese also switch to 4-3-3 with Ryder Matos, Cyril Thereau and Duvan Zapata upfront.
Panagiotis Kone, Ewandro, Adalberto Penaranda and Pablo Armero miss out.
Gabriele Angella makes history of a sort, as he is the first Italian to start a Serie A match for Udinese this season.
The Sicilians have won their last three meetings with Udinese, home and away, scoring eight goals and conceding only two. However, this fixture saw Palermo’s worst ever Serie A home defeat, falling 7-0 in February 2011.
