Juventus give Samuel Iling-Junior his first Serie A start with Arkadiusz Milik and Angel Di Maria in a top four showdown with Atalanta’s Duvan Zapata and Teun Koopmeiners.

It kicks off at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo at 11.30 UK time (10.30 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games on the LIVEBLOG.

There were already some big results yesterday in the fight for a Champions League spot, as Milan and Inter beat Lazio and Roma respectively.

That means a win here would send Juve into third place, or Atalanta could bring five teams within a three-point radius.

La Dea are coming off three consecutive victories, but Rasmus Hojlund joined Ademola Lookman, Jose Luis Palomino, Matteo Ruggeri and Hans Hateboer on the injury list.

Luis Muriel is an option off the bench, as Duvan Zapata is initially supported by Koopmeiners and Mario Pasalic.

Juve are coming off a far from convincing win over Lecce, with Leandro Paredes suspended and Mattia De Sciglio out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Adrien Rabiot returns after being rested midweek and there’s the first Serie A start for impressive NextGen wingback Samuel Iling-Junior, supporting Milik and Di Maria.

Federico Chiesa and Filip Kostic are on the bench ahead of Thursday’s Europa League semi-final against Sevilla.

Atalanta: Sportiello; Toloi, Djimsiti, Scalvini; Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Maehle; Pasalic, Koopmeiners; Duvan Zapata

Juventus: Szczesny; Danilo, Rugani, Alex Sandro; Cuadrado, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot, Iling-Junior; Di Maria; Milik
