The line-ups are confirmed for the first fixture of the 26th round of Serie A fixtures, as Lecce host Udinese at the Via del Mare on Friday evening, kicking off at 19.45 GMT.

Lecce are on a three-game unbeaten run, having held out for 0-0 draws in their last games against Monza and Bologna, which came after a 3-1 win away against Parma at the end of January.

Udinese have a similar record over their last three matches. They are also unbeaten over that spell, with a 3-0 win over Empoli, a 1-1 against league leaders Napoli and a 3-2 win over Venezia on their record.
