Italy need a result against Norway and to keep an eye on Switzerland-France, so Wilfried Gnonto again partners Pietro Pellegri with Sandro Tonali in midfield.

It kicks off in Cluj at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT).

The Azzurrini lost the opener 2-1 to France in extremely controversial circumstances, then beat Switzerland 3-2 despite having a 3-0 lead at half-time.

It is still possible three teams will finish level on six points, so a mini-league would be drawn up of their results.

Head-to-head is the first divider, then goal difference, goals scored and eventually disciplinary points.

Coach Paolo Nicolato sticks largely with the XI that beat Switzerland, bringing in Matteo Lovato and Samuele Ricci, so Gnonto again partners Pellegri upfront.

The wing-backs remain Raoul Bellanova and Fabiano Parisi, who were very effective last time out.

Norway lost 2-1 to Switzerland and 1-0 to France, but could still qualify if they win by two clear goals and the Swiss lose.

There are some familiar faces, such as Sassuolo winger Emil Ceide and Salernitana striker Erik Botheim, while Oscar Bobb plays for the Manchester City youth team.

They were unlucky not to get more from the two games so far and are not to be underestimated.

Italy: Carnesecchi; Okoli, Lovato, Scalvini; Bellanova, Rovella, Tonali, Ricci, Parisi; Pellegri, Gnonto

Norway: Klaesson; Sebulonsen, Heggheim, Daland, Wolfe; Evjen, Kitolano, Hove, Ceide; Botheim, Jatta
