Udinese

Udinese have two unresolved picks for Sunday. One is at the back, where Enzo Ebosse is competing with David Alaba for a starting spot; the other is in midfield, where Oier Zarraga, who made his first start of the run against Torino, is up against Lennon Miller.

Udinese sit 15th with four points after four straight defeats, their only win in that spell coming at Monza. Giorgi Chakvetadze, who also started for the first time against Torino, looks set to lead the line again, while Jakub Piotrowski remains a doubt because of an illness.

Lecce

Lecce's attack looked different in the loss to Bologna, where Paco Esteban and Amar Ahmed Fatah both made their first starts of the run. Nikola Štulić missed that game with a muscle problem and remains a doubt for Sunday. Esteban is now competing with Willem Geubbels for a starting place.

Four defeats in five matches have left Lecce 13th on six points, including a 0-4 home defeat by Roma and a 0-3 loss away at Milan. Kialonda Gaspar, who had started three of the previous four games at centre-back, played no part against Bologna, and Jamil Siebert and Tiago Gabriel are expected to continue in central defence.
