Como hope Nico Paz, Martin Baturina and Alvaro Morata can inspire them to victory against a Sassuolo side without Domenico Berardi.

It kicks off at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia at 17.45 UK time (18.45 CEST).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Inter vs. Cagliari on the Liveblog.

These Serie A Week 33 fixtures are being played today because Inter and Como will face off in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final on Tuesday.

Cesc Fabregas needs a victory to stay in the hunt for a top four finish, having slipped down behind Juventus after the 4-3 defeat to Inter.

Jayden Addai remains the only long-term injury absentee, but as always the choice for Fabregas is between Tasos Douvikas upfront, or using Nico Paz or Diao as a False 9.

Instead, the coach rotates and gives Alvaro Morata a rare start upfront.

Lucas Da Cunha returns to the starting XI after he scored off the bench last week.

Sassuolo are comfortably mid-table, but are forced into changes after the ill-tempered 2-1 defeat to Genoa.

That’s because Josh Doig and club legend Domenico Berardi are suspended, plus Darryl Bakola joins Filippo Romagna, Daniel Boloca, Edoardo Pieragnolo and Fali Cande on the treatment table.

The good news is that Nemanja Matic has fully recovered from the outbreak of whooping cough that spread throughout the squad a few weeks ago.

Cristian Volpato steps in to replace Berardi in the trident attack with Armand Laurienté and surprisingly M’Bala Nzola instead of Andrea Pinamonti.
