January signing Babacar leads the line again with Berardi and Matteo Politano, but Timo Letschert is still a long-term absentee in defence.

Mauricio Lemos drops back down to the bench after his Serie A debut.

Cagliari created a much-needed cushion from the relegation zone with their 2-0 victory over SPAL last week, but aren’t entirely out of the woods yet.

Coach Diego Lopez has a full squad to choose from and goes with Joao Pedro and Diego Farias in attack, supported by Luca Cigarini and new buy Charalampos Lykogiannis, but Leonardo Pavoletti is benched.

Cagliari have never won a Serie A trip to Sassuolo, earning two draws and one very heavy defeat.
