A tough test awaits Inter as they host Atalanta at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Saturday night in an attempt to end their first half of the season top of the Serie A table.
With Milan Skriniar suspended, Antonio Conte will hand Diego Godin his first start since early December, in the hope that the Uruguayan’s return can provide the same defensive solidity against the most prolific attack in the Italian top flight.
After coming off the bench in the 5-0 thrashing of Parma, Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata is set to make his return as a starter, as he’ll be flanked by Alejandro Gomez and Josip Ilicic. As a result, Mario Pasalic will be deployed as a central midfielder.
Inter: Handanovic; Godin, De Vrij, Bastoni; Candreva, Gagliardini, Brozovic, Sensi, Biraghi; Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez
Atalanta: Gollini; Toloi, Palomino, Djimsiti; Hateboer, De Roon, Pasalic, Gosens; Gomez, Ilicic; Zapata
