Serie A official line-ups: Atalanta vs. Inter | OneFootball

Atalanta go all-out attack for the Scudetto showdown with Inter, as Mateo Retegui, Ademola Lookman and Mario Pasalic face Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram.

It kicks off at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo at 19.45 GMT.

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

This is a huge head-to-head for the title race, because only three points separate them going into this clash.

As Napoli were held 0-0 by Venezia, it means if Atalanta win, there will be three sides all on 61 points.

Both teams have big injury problems too, as Atalanta are missing Juan Cuadrado, Ibrahim Sulemana, Stefan Posch, Odilon Kossounou, Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca.

La Dea are coming off an extraordinary 4-0 victory away to Juventus, but go for an even more attacking approach here with Pasalic joining Lookman and Capocannoniere Retegui upfront.

Other alternatives for the role were Charles De Ketelaere and Mario Pasalic.

Inter must still do without Federico Dimarco, Matteo Darmian, Nicola Zalewski, Piotr Zielinski and not fully fit Stefan de Vrij.

They are the only Italian side still in all three tournaments, sweeping Feyenoord aside 2-1 on Tuesday to set up a Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich.

However, last week they were 2-0 down to Monza before turning it around for the 3-2 victory, so fatigue is taking its toll.

Thuram partners Lautaro Martinez upfront, with Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolò Barella.

Yann Sommer made his comeback from a fracture in the Champions League and here returns in Serie A too.

Inter have won their last seven competitive meetings with Atalanta in a row, unbeaten since a 4-1 result here in November 2018.

Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Zappacosta; Pasalic; Lookman; Retegui

Inter: Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Carlos Augusto; Lautaro Martinez, Thuram
