For Juve, it could be the second step towards the Treble, having already secured the Scudetto and facing Barcelona in the Champions League Final on June 6.

It would also be their 10th edition of the trophy, albeit the first since 1994-95.

Lazio have more recent pedigree in this tournament, winning only two years ago thanks to a Senad Lulic goal to defeat arch rivals Roma.

Claudio Marchisio and Alvaro Morata sit out bans for Juventus, while Martin Caceres and Romulo are injured.

Carlos Tevez partners Fernando Llorente in attack, supported by Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo and Paul Pogba.

Lazio are without Lucas Biglia, who surprisingly has recovered enough from a knee ligament injury to take part in yesterday’s training session.

Stefano Pioli is using a 3-4-3 system with Stefan de Vrij and Santiago Gentiletti finally fit, Antonio Candreva, Miroslav Klose and Brazilian sensation Felipe Anderson up front.

The referee will be Daniele Orsato, but moving the Final forward means there hasn’t been time to set up goal-line technology at the Stadio Olimpico.
