Antonio Di Natale will lead the line for Udinese in this afternoon's Serie A match against Sampdoria.

The veteran striker has scored 13 league goals for his club this season and will be joined by Alexandre Geijo in attack.

Panagiotis Kone is also handed a start, but Cyril Thereau has to settle for a place on the bench.

Sampdoria, meanwhile, are without leading scorer Eder, who will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.

That means that Samuel Eto'o keeps his place up front, while former Udinese striker Luis Muriel will play against his old club for the first time since his January transfer.

Udinese: Karnezis, Widmer, Danilo, Domizzi, Piris, Pinzi, Hallberg, Kone, Guilherme, Geijo, Di Natale

Sampdoria: Viviano, Wszolek, Silvestre, Muñoz, Regini, Acquah, Palombo, Duncan, Soriano, Muriel, Eto'o
