Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri could use a 3-5-2 formation with no classic centre forwards starting against Inter where Edin Dzeko is favourite over Romelu Lukaku.

It’s the second leg of the Coppa Italia semis. The first leg in Turin on April 4 ended in a 1-1 draw.

It kicks off at 20:00 GMT+1 at San Siro tonight.

The Nerazzurri must cope without the injured Milan Skriniar, but Lukaku is available after the FIGC lifted his ban in a ‘statement against racism.’

The Belgian, scorer of two goals against Empoli on Sunday, is expected to start on the bench with Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez up front.

Juventus are short of options in attack without the injured Dusan Vlahovic and Moise Kean.

According to Gazzetta, Federico Chiesa and Angel Di Maria are expected to start in attack in a 3-5-2 formation with no classic centre forwards. In this case, Arek Milik would initially go on the bench.

Leonardo Bonucci should return to the starting XI, while Fabio Miretti is favourite over Nicolò Fagioli in the middle of the park.

Inter-Juventus: probable line-ups

Inter (3-5-2): Onana; Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro Martinez, Dzeko.

Juventus (3-5-2): Perin; Bremer, Bonucci, Danilo; De Sciglio, Rabiot, Locatelli, Miretti, Kostic; Di Maria, Chiesa.
