Udinese have the chance to become the outright leaders of the Serie A table if they pick up three points from their away trip to Parma this evening.
A draw will put them level on points with Inter, Juventus and Torino, but they will only be able to move above Toro into fourth place depending on the number of goals scored if tonight’s game ends level.
Parma have not made too many changes from the team that lost 2-1 to Napoli before the international break, but goalkeeper Zion Suzuki was sent off for a second bookable offence on that occasion, so he is replaced by 34-year-old Leandro Chichizola.
Matteo Cancellieri and Enrico Del Prato also come into the starting XI.
With two wins and a draw under their belts so far this season, Udinese have not made too many changes either. There are returns to the line-up for Thomas Kristensen, Martin Payero and Hassane Kamara, though.
Kick-off is due at 17.30 BST.
