The Rossoneri are unbeaten in 23 competitive matches and the only game this season in which they dropped points was Monday’s 3-3 thriller with Roma.
They were also in action on Thursday with a 3-0 Europa League victory over Sparta Prague, where Ibrahimovic missed a penalty.
He starts again with support this time from Rafael Leao, Hakan Calhanoglu and Alexis Saelemaekers, as Samu Castillejo, Mateo Musacchio and Mattia Gabbia are injured.
Gianluigi Donnarumma and Jens Petter Hauge are available again after recovering from COVID-19, while Ante Rebic is on the bench for the first time since dislocating his elbow.
Udinese have some star power of their own to call upon, as former Milan player Gerard Deulofeu gets his first start since the loan move from Watford.
He’s joined in the starting XI by fellow ex-Premiership player Pereyra, Argentina international Rodrigo De Paul, plus Ignacio Pussetto and Stefano Okaka upfront.
Coach Luca Gotti has to do without injured Mato Jajalo and Rolando Mandragora, but Udinese do welcome back goalkeeper Juan Musso after he picked up an injury on international duty with Argentina.
