Gianluca Scamacca and Teun Koopmeiners lead the way for Atalanta in the Europa League semi-final first leg with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s Olympique Marseille.

It kicks off at the Stade Velodrome at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Roma-Bayer Leverkusen and Fiorentina-Club Brugge on the LIVEBLOG.

Having eliminated Liverpool in the quarter-final, La Dea are hoping to reach their first ever European Final.

Isak Hien is suspended, with Giorgio Scalvini fit to start, while Charles De Ketelaere completes the attack.

Scamacca and Koopmeiners were rested at the weekend for their win over Empoli, while they already booked their place in the Coppa Italia Final against Juventus on May 15.

Olympique Marseille reached the Europa League Final in 1999, 2004 and 2018, losing all of them, and scraped through on penalties against Benfica in the last round.

Samuel Gigot is suspended, with Bamo Meité, captain Valentin Rongier and Bilal Nadir injured, while Jean Onana, Pape Gueye and Ulisses Garcia are ineligible.

Chancel Mbemba, Amir Murillo and Quentin Merlin all return to the squad.

Familiar faces to Serie A include ex-Napoli midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia, former Roma and Fiorentina player Jordan Veretout, Inter-owned Joaquin Correa and Milan youth product Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

They had been using a 3-5-2 formation lately, but might be switching it to 4-3-3 here.
