The line-ups are in as an injury-hit Atalanta side host the 13th-placed Cagliari in the first Serie A match on Saturday’s schedule.
You can follow the action as it unfolds on the Football Italia liveblog.
Gasperini has a number of injury concerns to contend with. He is without Giorgio Scalvini, Odilon Kossounou, Sead Kolasinac, Daniel Maldini, Ademola Lookman and Gianluca Scamacca.
Atalanta have also rested a number of first-team regulars following the disappointing and slightly controversial 2-1 defeat to Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday, as Marten De Roon, Ederson, Charles De Ketelaere and a number of others drop to the substitutes’ bench.
The attack will still be led by the division’s top goalscorer, Mateo Retegui, who is currently on 20 Serie A goals for the season ahead of kick-off.
Kick-off is scheduled for 14.00 GMT
Atalanta (3-4-2-1): Carnesecchi; Posch, Hien, Toloi; Cuadrado, Sulemana, Pasalic, Ruggeri; Samardzic, Brescianini; Retegui.
Cagliari (4-2-3-1): Caprile; Zappa, Mina, Luperto, Augello; Makounbou, Adopo; Zortea, Deiola, Felici; Piccoli
