Atalanta have won eight on the bounce and therefore make minimal changes to the side that beat Udinese 3-2.

Pasalic moves into the attacking trident, replacing the suspended Ruslan Malinovskyi and keeping Ilicic on the substitutes’ bench.

Elsewhere, Timothy Castagne is preferred to Hans Hateboer at right wingback and Alejandro Gomez starts ahead of Luis Muriel, despite the Colombian’s brace at Udinese.

Napoli, meanwhile, swap out Elseid Hysaj, Stanislav Lobotka, Eljif Elmas and Jose Callejon for Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Diego Demme, Piotr Zielinski and Politano from the 3-1 victory over SPAL.

They trail their fourth-placed opponents by 12 points in the Serie A table but have picked up maximum points in their last five league games and did recently win the Coppa Italia.
