Udinese ended their run of six consecutive defeats with a 0-0 draw at Parma midweek, where Maduka Okoye saved the Adrian Bernabé penalty.

Coach Kosta Runjaic is hanging by a thread, but also has a huge injury crisis to deal with, as Oumar Solet, David Alaba, Alessandro Zanoli, Idrissa Gueye and Vakoun Bayo remain on the treatment table.

Zaniolo faces his former club, having left Roma in bitter circumstances, with Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Davis upfront.

Lennon Miller is preferred to Jakub Piotrowski in midfield.
