Cagliari and Empoli made just three changes to their squads ahead of Friday night’s Serie A clash, with former Chelsea man Tino Anjorin set to make his debut under Roberto D’Aversa.

Anjorin, who joined Empoli on a permanent deal from Chelsea this summer, comes on to replace Youssef Maleh following last week’s 0-0 draw with Juventus. He is the only change for D’Aversa.

Meanwhile, Davide Nicola has brought Nadir Zortea back in for Paulo Azzi following last week’s 4-0 defeat to Napoli, while Gianluca Gaetano is also out and replaced by Antoine Makoumbou.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 5.30pm UK time.
