Dusan Vlahovic returns to Juventus‘ starting XI against Inter, while Simone Inzaghi will likely pick Edin Dzeko over Romelu Lukaku in attack.

It’s the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final. It kicks off at 20:00 GMT at the Allianz Stadium tonight.

Federico Chiesa and Angel Di Maria are available for the Old Lady, but the Italian winger will start on the bench.

Juan Cuadrado is favourite over Mattia De Sciglio, while Di Maria should partner Vlahovic in Juventus’ attack.

Paul Pogba, Leonardo Bonucci and Kaio Jorge are out of action due to injuries.

Juventus won both Serie A fixtures against Inter this season and won 15 of the previous 34 Coppa Italia meetings with the Nerazzurri.

However, there was a perfect balance in the last six Coppa Italia games played in Turin by these two sides, with two victories each and two draws.

Inter lost the last three Serie A games in a row and are still without the injured Milan Skriniar and Hakan Calhanoglu.

Samir Handanovic is favourite to start in goal for the Nerazzurri, while Dzeko should partner Lautaro Martinez up front with Lukaku initially on the bench.

Inter are unbeaten in 10 of the last 12 Coppa Italia games against Juventus.

Juventus-Inter: probable line-ups

Juventus (3-5-2): Perin; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cuadrado, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Di Maria, Vlahovic.
