Serie A Week 3 official line-ups: Genoa vs. Como

Como try to build on beating Napoli with this trip to a Genoa side in crisis, as Nico Paz and Trevoh Chalobah start, with new buys Moise Kean and Robert Sanchez on the bench.

It kicks off at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, also commonly known as Marassi, at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).

The Lariani are no longer a surprise outfit after qualifying for the Champions League, and despite an opening day draw with Udinese, they roared back into life with a 2-1 victory away to Napoli.

Coach Cesc Fabregas sticks with largely the same line-up, missing only long-term injury Jayden Addai, with deadline day signings Kean and Chelsea goalkeeper Sanchez on the bench.

That means Jean Butez keeps the gloves for now, with Chalobah, Yan Couto the only summer arrivals in the starting XI, as Maxi Perrone takes over from Luis Milla.

Nico Paz, Assane Diao and Baturina support Tasos Douvikas upfront.

Genoa have had a dismal start to the season under coach Daniele De Rossi, losing to both Napoli and Lazio without yet managing to score a single goal.

Lorenzo Venturino, Joi Nuredini, Hamed Traore and Elias Havel are still on the treatment table, but Franz-Ethan Meichtry made an impressive debut as a substitute against Lazio and is pushing for full fitness.

Late signings Milutin Osmajic and Djibril Sow get their first starts, with Robinho Junior and Stephan El Shaarawy on the bench.

Genoa vs. Como line-ups

Genoa: Bijlow; Marcandalli, Ostigard, Vasquez; Sabelli, Sow, Frendrup, Ellertsson; Baldanzi; Colombo, Osmajic

Como: Butez; Couto, Ramon, Chalobah, Valle; Perrone, Da Cunha; Diao, Nico Paz, Baturina; Douvikas
