Atalanta-Empoli, the probable formations
Atalanta receives Empoli in the 17th day of Serie A. Kickoff at 6 p.m. at the Gewiss Stadium. The Nerazzurri are hunting for their 11th win in a row to consolidate their top spot, while the Azzurri will try to avoid their second consecutive knockout after the home loss to Torino (0-1) in the last round.

D'Aversa recovers Henderson in midfield: the Scot will start from the 1', assisted by Anjorin and Maleh, on the flanks Gyasi and Pezzella. Attack tandem formed by Colombo and Se. Esposito, defense headed by Ismajli. Between the posts Vasquez.
