Charles De Ketelaere is expected to start as a centre forward against Torino tonight, while Ivan Juric won’t rotate much.

It kicks off at 20.00 GMT.

It’s the third meeting in the last four Coppa editions. In January 2021, the last time Milan and Torino met in Coppa Italia, the Rossoneri won on penalties.

Stefano Pioli must cope without the suspended Malick Thiaw and the injured Mike Maignan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Alessandro Florenzi, Fode Ballo-Toure, Ante Rebic, RAde Krunic, Divock Origi and Simon Kjaer.

The system will slightly change to a 3-5-1-1 with both Diaz and De Ketelaere starting. The Belgian starlet will be deployed as a classic centre forward, a role he previously covered at Club Burgge.

Torino boss Juric will field the usual starting line-up with almost no rotations at all. Ola Aina, Pietro Pellegri, Valentino Lazaro and Emirhan Ilkhan are injured and didn’t travel with the team to San Siro where over 60,000 fans will watch the game tonight.

Nemanja Radonjic scored in the last two Coppa Italia games. The last Torino player to find the net in three consecutive matches in the competition was Andrea Belotti between 2016 and 2017.

Milan-Torino: probable line-ups

Milan (3-5-1-1): Tatarusanu; Kalulu, Gabbia, Tomori; Saelemaekers, Pobega, Tonali, Vranckx, Dest; Diaz; De Ketelaere.
