The Nerazzurri restored their status at the top of the table last week thanks to Napoli’s surprise 3-2 defeat at Bologna.

Tomorrow the Partenopei go head-to-head with Roma and second-placed Fiorentina visit a resurgent Juventus, so this weekend seems almost tailor-made for Roberto Mancini.

Danilo D’Ambrosio sits out a ban, while Davide Santon is out injured, but Geoffrey Kondogbia is back on the bench.

Felipe Melo starts just a week after a clash of heads that left him unable to remember anything from the game with Genoa.

There are several surprises in the formation, as Icardi, Jovetic, Adem Ljajic and Ivan Perisic are used together.

Above all, Montoya is given his first appearance of the season since arriving on loan from Barcelona, a completely unexpected twist.

Udinese have a decimated squad, as Danilo and Dias Felipe are both suspended in defence.

Thomas Heurtaux, Duvan Zapata and Alexander Merkel are injured, but Antonio Di Natale gets a rare start at the age of 38 alongside on-form Cyril Thereau.
