Roberto Mancini received a real boost by beating Palermo 3-0 last week, but the Nerazzurri are still in the bottom half of the table.

That 2-0 result was followed by three 1-1 draws and two Atalanta wins.

Yuto Nagatomo, Marco Andreolli, Jonathan and Danilo D’Ambrosio are all out of action, while Icardi is not risked after coming down with a stomach bug.

Xherdan Shaqiri has been very impressive since arriving from Bayern Munich in January and he is the one to watch.

Marcelo Brozovic and Davide Santon start again, but Mateo Kovacic is benched.
