This is famously one of the most hard-fought derbies in Italian football, as the sides are so often evenly-matched.

Sampdoria have had the better start to the season and are currently unbeaten, notching up two victories and as many draws.

They could climb into third place this evening and have almost a full squad to choose from, missing only Michele Fornasier and Pawel Wszolek.

Okaka has been on fine form this season and leads the attack with Eder and free kick specialist Manolo Gabbiadini.

Matias Silvestre shakes off a knock to start in defence with Roma loaner Alessio Romagnoli.

Genoa beat Lazio last week and threw away a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Verona on Wednesday night.

Alessandro Matri bagged his first goals in a Grifone jersey, netting twice, but he returns to the bench in favour of Chile international Mauricio Pinilla.

He is flanked by Diego Perotti and Juraj Kucka, but their form player at the moment is certainly goalkeeper Mattia Perin.

The only absentee is Greek international Ioannis Fetfatzidis.

Genoa: Perin; Roncaglia, De Maio, Burdisso; Edenilson, Rincon, Sturaro, Antonelli; Perotti, Pinilla, Kucka

Sampdoria: Viviano; De Silvestri, Silvestre, Romagnoli, Regini; Soriano, Palombo, Obiang; Gabbiadini, Okaka, Eder
