Atalanta bring back Charles De Ketelaere with Gianluca Scamacca in their Champions League trip to Bayern Munich, who start Harry Kane.
It kicks off at the Allianz Arena in Munich at 20.00 GMT (21.00 CET).
La Dea lost the first leg 6-1 in Bergamo and therefore need tantamount to a miracle to continue through to the quarter-finals, but do at least want to give a better account of themselves.
Giacomo Raspadori is fit for the bench, while Yunus Musah is suspended, but Giorgio Scalvini returns from a ban.
De Ketelaere gets his first start since the Coppa Italia quarter-final victory over Juventus on February 5, when he damaged the meniscus in his knee.

He made his comeback off the bench as a late substitute in Saturday’s 1-1 Serie A draw with Inter.
The Belgian completes the attack with Scamacca and Kamaldeen Sulemana, with Ederson and Mario Pasalic in midfield.
Atalanta’s last victory was the 4-1 Champions League result against Borussia Dortmund on February 25, followed by three draws and two defeats between Serie A, the Coppa Italia and Europe.

Bayern Munich have a long absentee list to deal with, including suspended Joshua Kimmich and Michael Olise.
Goalkeepers Manuel Neuer, Sven Ulreich and Leon Klanac are all injured, so it had seemed for a while as if 16-year-old Leonard Prescott would get the gloves.
However, Jonas Urbig recovered in time after suffering concussion during the 4-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach on March 6.

The other injuries are to Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala, while Hiroki Ito is still not at 100 per cent either.
Unlike the first leg, Kane returns to lead the attack, with support from Luis Diaz, Raphael Guerreiro and 18-year-old Lennart Karl.
Former Napoli defender Kim Min-jae starts along with Milan transfer target Leon Goretzka.
