Luciano Spalletti’s side slipped four points adrift of Roma and Lazio with last week’s controversial 3-2 defeat to Juventus, but with the final match against the Biancocelesti, there’s still some hope.

Matias Vecino and Danilo D’Ambrosio are suspended with Roberto Gagliardini injured, so Borja Valero returns to bolster the midfield with Marcelo Brozovic.

Dalbert wins the battle with Davide Santon to take the left-back slot, while Antonio Candreva, Rafinha and Ivan Perisic fan out behind Mauro Icardi.

Joao Miranda pulled out in the warm-up with a muscular issue, so Andrea Ranocchia was a late replacement in the Inter defence.

Udinese are at real risk of joining Verona and Benevento in Serie B, so new Coach Tudor – their third of the campaign – has to turn things around quickly.

He made his debut in place of Massimo Oddo last week and did end their run of 11 consecutive defeats, but only managed a 3-3 draw at already-relegated Benevento.

Gabriele Angella is out of action, but Tudor again looks to Ante Balic and Rodrigo De Paul as support for hitman Kevin Lasagna.

Jakub Jankto is available again in midfield following suspension, but benched anyway.

Perhaps the only bright spot of Udinese’s season so far was their surprise victory over Inter at San Siro, but the Nerazzurri have won their last four visits to Friuli.

Udinese have managed only two points from their last 13 Serie A games and could equal the club record winless streak set in 1951 and 2006.

Udinese: Bizzarri; Stryger-Larsen, Danilo, Samir; Widmer, Balic, Behrami, Fofana, Ali Adnan; De Paul; Lasagna

Inter: Handanovic; Cancelo, Skriniar, Ranocchia, Dalbert; Borja Valero, Brozovic; Candreva, Rafinha, Perisic; Icardi
