Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from the Coppa Italia semi-final, as Inter visit Cesc Fabregas and his remarkable Como.
It kicks off at the Stadio Sinigaglia at 20.00 GMT (21.00 CET).
The second leg will be next month, though the official date has not yet been set, as the semi-final is the only stage of the tournament to be played home and away.
It is the first time Como have reached this stage for 40 years, while the Nerazzurri are 10 points clear at the top of the Serie A table.
The other semi-final between Lazio and Atalanta is on Wednesday.

Into 3 minutes of added time.
Inter look fairly content with a draw in this first leg.
At least that free kick wasn’t cleared by an Inter player. It hit a Como player and went straight out instead.
Mkhitaryan on, Frattesi off for Inter.
Como also make changes, Douvikas and Baturina on, Nico Paz and Caqueret off.
All Como free kicks and corners are headed away by Inter players. All of them.
Caqueret resists several Bastoni challenges until finally earning the free kick.
Alberto Moreno and Van der Brempt on for Como, Vojvoda and Alex Valle off.
Again, no striker.
Thuram backing up, doesn’t realise the Como player is jumping behind him, gets a whack in the back of the head from Diego Carlos.
Da Cunha corner, yet again Inter nod it clear. These corners have been pretty futile.
Assane Diao on, Sergi Roberto off. An attacking move from Como.
Bisseck nearly got his head to the corner, but Como managed to clear.
Luis Henrique on for Inter, Diouf off.
Thuram has a rather hopeful shot charged down by Diego Carlos and gets an Inter corner.
Da Cunha is down hurt.
Como continue to keep the initiative, and Inter do not elect to introduce another striker.
Dumfries, Thuram and Zielinski on for Inter,
Darmian, Calhanoglu and Pio Esposito off.
Interesting.
In the first half against Como, Inter created just 0.02(xG), compared to Como’s 0.17(xG).

Bastoni continues to be loudly jeered at his every touch. Wonder how long this will go on for?
Caqueret free kick goes past everyone and Martinez gathers.
Marcus Thuram is warming up for Inter.
Alex Valle, how?!
That had to be a goal for Como!
Smolcic got down the right and rolled it across the six-yard box, Alex Valle is totally undisturbed and prods it wide from five yards!
Incredible!
