The official line-ups have been confirmed as Empoli host Udinese in Monday evening’s early kick off in Serie A.
Pietro Pellegri and Lorenzo Colombo lead the line for the hosts, as Udinese stick with the combination of Florian Thauvin and Keinan Davis in a side that has made just one change.
Empoli have lost two, drawn two and won one across their last five league outings, with the defeats coming against title candidates Napoli and Inter.
Udinese, who briefly led the Serie A table at the start of the 2024-25 season, are now down to ninth place after three consecutive losses against Venezia, Juventus and Atalanta over their last three league outings.
Kick-off on Monday evening is due at 17.30 GMT.
