This game concludes the opening round of the Serie A 2019-20 season and there have already been some surprises.
Conte has to do without injured Diego Godin, while Mauro Icardi is famously frozen out and Radja Nainggolan was loaned to Cagliari.
The important thing is that he can count on Lukaku, the big Belgian finally signed from Manchester United for €65m plus bonuses after weeks of tense negotiations.
He could soon be joined by Alexis Sanchez, who is in advanced talks for a loan with option to buy from Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Lautaro Martinez is Lukaku’s strike partner after an impressive Copa America showing with Argentina.
Ex-Sassuolo midfielder Sensi starts with Marcelo Brozovic, Matias Vecino and Antonio Candreva, as Nicolò Barella is on the bench.
Stefan de Vrij was meant to be in the starting XI, but had a problem in the warm-up, so Andrea Ranocchia steps in.
Lecce earned two consecutive promotions to go from Serie C to the top flight and invested during the summer for Coach Fabio Liverani.
Biagio Meccariello, Riccardo Fiamozzi and Simone Lo Faso are all out of action for at least three weeks, but Filippo Falco takes the trequartista role behind Andrea La Mantia and ex-Milan and Genoa striker Gianluca Lapadula.
Veteran Greek midfielder Panagiotis Tachtsidis takes the reins with Slovenian Zan Majer.
