The Nerazzurri want to keep the pressure on leaders Milan and potentially begin 2021 by leapfrogging them, having won their last seven Serie A matches.
Matias Vecino and Andrea Pinamonti are the only absentees, so Vidal and Marcelo Brozovic run the midfield with Nicolò Barella.
Lukaku makes his 50th Serie A appearance and already has 34 goals under his belt, here partnered by Lautaro Martinez.
Crotone saw out 2020 with a 2-1 victory over Parma that lifted them off the foot of the table, although they are still in the bottom two.
Luca Cigarini and Ahmad Benali are out injured, but coach Giovanni Stroppa hopes his own 3-5-2 formation can neutralise Antonio Conte’s tactics.
Arkadiusz Reca provides pace down the left flank, but not much defending, while Junior Messias is placed into a more advanced role with Emmanuel Rivere.
