Ivan Juric has several injury concerns to deal with, particularly in defence, as Isak Hien, Giorgio Scalvini and Sead Kolasinac are all unavailable, as are Charles De Ketelaere, Gianluca Scamacca and Nicola Zalewski. 

That means that Lookman is called upon to partner summer signing Krstovic in attack. Mario Pasalic is expected to play in the advanced midfield role behind them.

Ederson is also back in the Atalanta starting XI after his recent injury lay-off, partnering captain Marten De Roon.

As it was for the 1-1 draw against Juventus in Serie A, Ivan Juric goes with a back three of Odilon Kossounou, Berat Djimsiti and 17-year-old Honest Ahanor.
