The Friulani have found some balance since Davide Nicola took over from Julio Velazquez and are reinforcing in the January transfer window.

Former Watford striker Okaka is thrown straight into the starting XI with Kevin Lasagna, while Rodrigo De Paul returns from suspension.

Antonin Barak, Lukasz Teodorczyk, Emmanuel Badu, Samir and Svante Ingelsson are unavailable, with Ignacio Pussetto and Rolando Mandragora banned.

Parma also brought in quality players this month, but Juraj Kucka is not yet fit to start after his switch from Trabzonspor.

It means Leo Stulac takes the midfield reins, with Gervinho and Jonathan Biabiany flanking Roberto Inglese.

Udinese: Musso; Opoku, Nuytinck, Troost-Ekong; Stryger-Larsen, Fofana, Behrami, D'Alessandro; De Paul; Lasagna, Okaka

Parma: Sepe; Iacoponi, Bastoni, Bruno Alves, Gagliolo; Deiola, Stulac, Barillà; Gervinho, Inglese, Biabiany
