Gigi Buffon will take his customary place in goal against Azerbaijan in Baku, with a likely defence of Matteo Darmian, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini and Mattia De Sciglio.

The biggest area of doubt is the midfield, with Conte choosing between Andrea Pirlo and Marco Verratti, as well as deciding between Antonio Candreva and Alessandro Florenzi.

Probable Italy line-up to face Azerbaijan: Buffon; Darmian, Bonucci, Chiellini, De Sciglio; Candreva, Pirlo, Parolo, El Shaarawy; Pelle, Eder.
