Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Serie A fixture between Udinese and Palermo!

First corner of the game goes to Palermo.

At the other end, Danillo puts the ball out on the right wing for an attacking throw which Palermo fail to capitalise upon.

As I say that, the home team surge forward and Basta fires our first shot of the game off-target after Isla's cut-back attempt from the right is initially intercepted.

And it's the away side looking a little more active in these very early stages, while Udinese look to slow things down when they get the ball.

After the stadium observes a minute's silence, Palermo get the game started.

The teams are out on the pitch - kick-off is coming up next!
