The Rossoblu must cope without Nicola Sansone and Joshua Zirkzee in attack, so Switzerland international Aebischer starts as a false 9 with both Musa Barrow and Roberto Soriano initially on the bench.
Thiago Motta is also short of options in defence with Jhon Lucumí and Kevin Bonifazi injured and Adama Soumaoro suspended.
Both Lorenzo De Silvestri and Marko Arnautovic are available but start on the bench.
Full team available for Monza boss Palladino who sees Sensi return. The Inter loanee gets the nod in the middle of the park along with Nicolò Rovella.
Caprari and Petagna start in attack with Matteo Pessina behind the two strikers.
