Udinese manager Andrea Stramaccioni has brought Cyril Thereau back into the starting XI for this afternoon's Serie A clash with Palermo.

The Frenchman came off the bench in the club's defeat against Parma in midweek, but he begins from the start alongside fellow striker Antonio Di Natale.

He is one of five changes made to the side, as Ivan Piris, Allan, Giampiero Pinzi and Gabriel Silva all return.

Meanwhile, Palermo once again start with highly-rated duo Paulo Dybala and Franco Vazquez in their attack.

Udinese: Karnezis, Wague, Danilo, Piris, Widmer, Allan, Pinzi, Guilherme, Gabriel Silva, Thereau, Di Natale

Palermo: Sorrentino, Vitiello, Gonzalez, Andelkovic, Rispoli, Rigoni, Jajalo, Chochev, Lazaar, Vazquez, Dybala
