Inter revamp once again for tonight’s trip to Atalanta, as it’s a 3-4-3 system with Rodrigo Palacio, Diego Milito and Antonio Cassano.
The Nerazzurri must win to stay within a point of leaders Juventus and are on track for an 11th consecutive victory.
Andrea Stramaccioni faces an injury crisis, as Wesley Sneijder, Philippe Coutinho, Dejan Stankovic, Cristian Chivu, Walter Samuel, Andrea Ranocchia, Joel Obi, MacDonald Mariga and Gaby Mudingayi.
This means Esteban Cambiasso is re-routed to centre-back, a role he has occasionally used in the Europa League.
With the relative lack of defenders, Stramaccioni has opted for a 3-4-3 system with Palacio, Milito and Cassano in attack.
Atalanta are without Ivan Radovanovic, Ivan Capelli, Ferreira Pinto, Matteo Scozzarella and Giampaolo Bellini.
German Denis is once again supported by Maxi Moralez with Luca Cigarini, Giacomo Bonaventura and Ezequiel Schelotto in midfield.
Atalanta: 47 Consigli; 77 Raimondi, 2 Stendardo, 5 Manfredini, 13 Peluso; 7 Schelotto, 21 Cigarini, 17 Carmona, 10 Bonaventura; 11 Moralez; 19 Denis
Atalanta bench: 16 Polito, 78 Frezzolini, 3 Lucchini, 9 Troisi, 25 Matheu, 28 Brivio, 32 Ferri, 44 Cazzola, 88 Biondini, 89 Marilungo, 91 De Luca, 99 Parra
Inter: 1 Handanovic; 6 Silvestre, 19 Cambiasso, 40 Juan Jesus; 4 Zanetti, 21 Gargano, 14 Guarin, 55 Nagatomo; 8 Palacio, 22 Milito, 39 Cassano
