Mirko Vucinic is rested in favour of a new Matri-Sebastian Giovinco partnership, while Caceres and Paolo De Ceglie give Stefan Lichtsteiner and Pablo Armero a breather.
Lucio and Mauricio Isla are back on the bench for the first time this season after injuries, joined by new buy Nicklas Bendtner.

It’s Borriello’s first Serie A start since returning to Marassi from Roma this summer, while Bosko Jankovic completes the trident attack.
Sampirisi is a surprise starter in defence, while Cristobal Jorquera and Alexander Merkel are benched.
