The Orobici have been perhaps more impressive in the Europa League than domestically so far this season, but believe they have the resources to shine in both tournaments.

Alejandro ‘Papu’ Gomez is back in the squad after missing the 1-0 win over Bologna and starts with Andreas Cornelius, resting Andrea Petagna.

Rafael Toloi also returns from injury to bolster the defence in a largely rotated squad.

Hellas Verona are improving their performances after a dismal start, but not necessarily the results, as they were beaten 3-2 by Chievo in the local derby at the weekend.

Bruno Zuculini had a nightmare game that culminated in his red card and is therefore suspended, while Martin Caceres, Alex Ferrari, Franco Zuculini and Mattia Valoti are also not fully fit.

Veteran Giampaolo Pazzini is rested in favour of Juventus-owned teenage striker Moise Kean, supported by Alessio Cerci and Daniele Verde.

Atalanta have not beaten Verona at home since 2005, drawing twice and losing once.

Atalanta: Gollini; Toloi, Caldara, Palomino; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Ilicic; Gomez, Cornelius

Verona: Nicolas; Souprayen, Heurtaux, Caracciolo, Fares; Romulo, Fossati, Bessa; Cerci, Kean, Verde
