It had been reported that Leao would be dropped, but as Pulisic pulled out this morning with a gluteal strain, the Portugal international partners Gimenez, who is making his first start since October 28.

Funnily enough, that was also against Atalanta, a 1-1 draw in Bergamo.

Luka Modric is injured for the rest of the season, while Fikayo Tomori sits out a one-match ban, so Koni De Winter steps into the back three.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Samuele Ricci try to shore up the midfield with Adrien Rabiot.

Atalanta are struggling too and practically out of the race for European qualification after just two points in their last four Serie A games, plus Coppa Italia semi-final elimination to Lazio.

Lorenzo Bernasconi is out for the season, but Raspadori pushes his way into the starting XI with former Milan flop De Ketelaere, who has shown just what he can do in Bergamo.

The choice upfront is always between Gianluca Scamacca and Nikola Krstovic.
