Mateo Retegui tries to keep his Capocannoniere streak going with Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere, as goal machine Atalanta face Matteo Pessina’s Monza.
It kicks off at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo at 19.45 GMT.
La Dea are on spectacular Serie A form, winning three on the bounce while scoring 13 goals and conceding two.
However, they were interrupted by a surprise 0-0 draw with Celtic in the Champions League.
Marco Brescianini, Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca are still out of action, while Ederson was carrying a knock after the 6-1 victory over Verona.
Retegui is top scorer in Serie A with 10 goals, supported by Lookman fresh from the Ballon d’Or ceremony.

Monza still have only one win under Alessandro Nesta in the league this season, but are unbeaten in three.
Warren Bondo saw red in the 2-2 with Venezia and is therefore suspended, with Samuele Birindelli, Stefano Sensi, Andrea Petagna, Roberto Gagliardini and Alessio Cragno injured.
Pessina faces his former club, while Daniel Maldini is still only fit for the bench following a shoulder problem.
