Both sides in this Lombardy Derby are eager to get over heavy midweek Champions League defeats, as La Dea fell 5-0 at home to Liverpool and the Nerazzurri were ultimately beaten 3-2 by Real Madrid.
Gian Piero Gasperini said the recent defeats were a wake-up call for Atalanta and would prompt him to make adjustments, so Luis Muriel and Josip Ilicic drop to the bench, with Malinovskyi stepping in as support for Papu Gomez and Duvan Zapata.
Robin Gosens, Marten de Roon, Jose Luis Palomino and Mattia Caldara are injured, so 18-year-old Matteo Ruggeri is given his Serie A debut in the starting XI on the left flank, preferred to Johan Mojica.
Inter have just one win in their last seven competitive games and scraped a 2-2 draw with Parma last week in stoppages.
Romelu Lukaku is back in the squad after a thigh injury, but only fit for the bench, although Alexis Sanchez is now ready to start with Lautaro Martinez.
Nicolò Barella takes the trequartista role rather than out of favour Christian Eriksen, while Milan Skriniar makes his comeback after recovering from COVID-19.
Achraf Hakimi is rested in favour of Matteo Darmian.
Daniele Padelli is out with Coronavirus, but Roberto Gagliardini and Ionut Radu were given the all-clear this morning.
