It kicks off at 17.00 GMT, follow the action as it happens in our Serie A Saturday LIVEBLOG.

This is Frosinone’s first ever top flight campaign and a decent spell has given way to a poor run of results, leaving them in penultimate place.

They’ve conceded 45 goals in 20 games and go into this game without injured Aleksandar Tonev, Massimiliano Carlini and Roberto Crivello.

Daniel Ciofani leads the 4-3-3 attack flanked by Luca Paganini and Federico Dionisi, but watch out for prolific midfielder Paolo Sammarco.

Atalanta ended their run of four consecutive defeats with a decent 1-1 draw against Scudetto-chasing Inter last week.

Luca Cigarini is suspended, while Mauricio Pinilla, Gabriel Paletta and Carlos Carmona are injured.

Edy Reja is without Alberto Grassi, who will undergo a medical for his transfer to Napoli tomorrow.

Italy Under-21 international Gaetano Monachello is increasingly the first choice centre-forward with support from Alejandro Gomez, so German Denis again drops to the bench.

Alessandro Diamanti can be expected to come on in the second half, but Guglielmo Stendardo is frozen out following a row with the club.

This fixture has only ever been played once before, in the 2010-11 Serie B season, with Atalanta emerging 1-0 winners.

Frosinone: Leali; M Ciofani, Ajeti, Blanchard, Pavlovic; Chibsah, Gori, Sammarco; Paganini, D Ciofani, Dionisi

Atalanta: Sportiello; Toloi, Masiello, Cherubin; Raimondi, Migliaccio, De Roon, Kurtic, Drame; Gomez; Monachello
