Gian Piero Gasperini’s men are arguably the form side in Serie A right now and on Wednesday night caused shockwaves when knocking Juventus out of the Coppa Italia with a 3-0 thrashing.

Duvan Zapata is a big reason for that form and has scored 17 goals in his last 10 competitive games.

However, he won’t have the support of Ilicic this evening, as the Slovenian is struggling with a hip problem that made him limp off during the first half of the Juve match.

Mario Pasalic takes over, moving Papu Gomez into a slightly more advanced role than the one he has been adopting recently.

Cagliari are forced to do without suspended midfielder Nicolò Barella, with Ragnar Klavan, Alberto Cerri, Fabrizio Cacciatore, Bradaric and Lucas Castro injured.

They brought in several new faces during the January transfer window, but Luca Pellegrini, Maxime Leverbe, Cyril Thereau and Kiril Despodov are on the bench.

Atalanta won here 2-0 last month in the Coppa Italia Round of 16.

Cagliari: Cragno; Pisacane, Ceppitelli, Romagna, Faragò; Deiola, Cigarini, Ionita, Padoin; Birsa, Pavoletti

Atalanta:  Berisha; Toloi, Djimsiti, Palomino; Hateboer, Freuler, De Roon, Castagne; Pasalic; Gomez, Duvan Zapata
