Lucas Beltran and a surprising new role for Cristiano Biraghi lead the way for Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia quarter-final against Joshua Zirkzee’s Bologna.
It kicks off at the Stadio Artemio Franchi at 20.00 GMT.

The winners will be decided after 90 minutes, extra time or even penalties, and will go on to face either Atalanta or Milan in the two-legged semi-final.
These two clubs are also currently battling for fourth place in Serie A, where only one point separates them in the table.
Nico Gonzalez, Christian Kouame, Riccardo Sottil, Dodo and Gaetano Castrovilli are out of action for the Viola, who reached the Coppa Italia Final last season and lost to Inter.
There are surprises, because captain and left-back Biraghi is used in a new more advanced role in the trio supporting Beltran, joining Jonathan Ikone and Antonin Barak.
Bologna knocked holders Inter out in extra time during the Round of 16 at San Siro, but field an even stronger starting XI this time around.
That includes Zirkzee, Riccardo Orsolini and Alexis Saelemaekers.
Coach Thiago Motta is without Adama Soumaoro, Dan Ndoye and Jesper Karlsson.
When these sides met in Serie A on November 12, Fiorentina ran out 2-1 winners.
Fiorentina: Christensen; Kayode, Milenkovic, Martinez-Quarta, Ranieri; Maxime Lopez, Duncan; Ikoné, Barak, Biraghi; Beltran
Bologna: Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Lucumí, Kristiansen; Freuler, Aebischer; Orsolini, Ferguson, Saelemaekers; Zirkzee
