Ademola Lookman starts on the bench for Atalanta against Bologna while Nicola Sansone replaces Marko Arnautovic, playing as a false 9.

It kicks off at 19.45 GMT at the Stadio Dall’Ara.

Bologna are without their best striker Arnautovic, plus Kevin Bonifazi, Lorenzo De Silvestri, Musa Barrow and Joshua Zirkzee. Thiago Motta has little options in attack, so Sansone plays as a false nine in an attacking trident completed by Riccardo Orsolini and Roberto Soriano.

Gian Piero Gasperini picks Duvan Zapata and Rasmus Højlund in attack with Lookman, their best scorer this season, on the bench.

Teun Koopmeiners, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool, starts in the middle of the park with his compatriot Marten De Roon.
