Atalanta look to Ruslan Malinovskyi and Duvan Zapata in the Coppa Italia Final, while Juventus use Dejan Kulusevski with Cristiano Ronaldo and change again in defence.

It kicks off at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

Gian Piero Gasperini has taken Atalanta to their third consecutive Champions League qualification and is now aiming to give them a trophy, something this club hasn’t experienced since lifting the Coppa Italia in 1963.

They came close two years ago, losing the Final to Lazio, and already know they will finish this Serie A season above Juve.

Viktor Kovalenko is the only absentee and Gasp picks Matteo Pessina to support Malinovskyi and Duvan Zapata upfront, with Josip Ilicic and Luis Muriel ready to come off the bench.

Juventus are missing suspended Alex Sandro and injured Leonardo Bonucci, so Danilo moves to left-back with Juan Cuadrado returning to defence.

Federico Chiesa and Weston McKennie take the wings, with Kulusevski and Ronaldo upfront, dropping Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata again.

It’ll probably be the final game Gigi Buffon plays in the Juventus jersey, but he could also match Roberto Mancini’s record of six Coppa Italia wins.

There will be 4,300 people allowed into the Mapei Stadium for the first time since the lockdown in March 2020.
