Atalanta are aiming for a fifth consecutive victory to consolidate fourth place with Charles De Ketelaere and Teun Koopmeiners against struggling Sassuolo.

It kicks off at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo at 19.45 GMT.

La Dea are emerging as strong favourites for that Champions League qualifying spot after four straight wins and have six consecutive victories on home turf.

They have a game in hand, to be played against leaders Inter on Wednesday February 28, and Milan are up next weekend.

Ederson returns from suspension, while Ademola Lookman is rested after returning from AFCON duty with an injury, so De Ketelaere continues to take a more active attacking role.

Gianluca Scamacca is benched in favour of Aleksei Miranchuk.

Jose Luis Palomino is on the treatment table.

Sassuolo are in real crisis, though a 1-1 draw with Torino last week ended the run of three consecutive defeats.

Talisman Domenico Berardi is out for another month following knee surgery, with Jeremy Toljan and Martin Erlic also injured, but Daniel Boloca and Cristian Volpato return to the bench.

Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Djimsiti, Kolasinac; Holm, Pasalic, Ederson, Zappacosta; Koopmeiners; Miranchuk, De Ketelaere

Sassuolo: Consigli; Pedersen, Viti, Ruan Tressoldi, Doig; Henrique, Lipani; Bajrami, Thorstvedt, Laurientè; Pinamonti
