Serie A strugglers Cremonese and Sampdoria meet at the Stadio Zini, looking for their first win this season.

It kicks off at 17.30 UK time.

The last Serie A meeting between these two sides was in 1996.

Cremonese and Samp sit rock bottom of the table and are the only two teams without victories in Serie A this season.

Luca Zanimacchia is out for the hosts, so coach Massimiliano Alvini picks a defensive 5-3-2 with Meité, Ascacibar and Pickel in the middle of the park.

Jack Hendry is back for the Grigiorossi but doesn’t start. Vlad Chiriches and Ionut Radu are still on the sidelines.

Cremonese have never failed to win at least one of their opening 11 Serie A games in history, while Cyriel Dessers could become their third player to score in three consecutive games since Enrico Chiesa in 1995.

Harry Winks and Manuel De Luca are out of action for Samp. The Blucerchiati collected one point in two games under their new coach Dejan Stankovic.

Sampdoria won just one of their last 15 away games in Serie A, this past March against Venezia.
