Serie A: Probable line-ups incl. Verona-Fiorentina and Empoli-Atalanta | OneFootball

Check out the probable line-ups for all four of the Serie A matches scheduled on Sunday, namely Como-Napoli, Verona-Fiorentina, Empoli-Atalanta and Cagliari-Juventus.

The action begins with the current league leaders, who take on Como at the Sinigaglia. Antonio Conte looks set to stick with a 3-5-2, and Cesc Fabregas is not expected to make too many alterations either following the recent 2-0 victory over Fiorentina.

Fiorentina are looking to bounce back from that defeat during their away trip to Verona, where Moise Kean is expected to return to the starting line-up following his suspension last time out.

Atalanta will have to put their Champions League disappointments behind them. A falling out between Gian Piero Gasperini and Ademola Lookman does not necessarily mean that the Nigerian will miss out on the game against Empoli.

Thiago Motta, meanwhile, could make a handful of alterations following Juve’s exit from the Champions League earlier in the week. Some of those changes will be enforced, such as Renato Veiga’s unavailability, but there could also be a return to the starting line-up for Andrea Cambiaso.
