This is the first Italian football match to be played since the lockdown and there will be a minute’s silence before kick-off for victims of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by a symbolic applause for all healthcare workers.

A place in the Coppa Italia Final is at stake on June 17 at the Stadio Olimpico, which will also be behind closed doors.

Gonzalo Higuain, Giorgio Chiellini, Aaron Ramsey and Merih Demiral are out injured for the hosts, but Maurizio Sarri keeps the faith with transfer-listed Miralem Pjanic in midfield.

Douglas Costa, Dybala and Ronaldo form an intriguing trident attack in the 4-3-3 formation, with Gigi Buffon and Danilo adding experience at the back.

Milan are missing suspended Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Theo Hernandez and Samu Castillejo, with Mateo Musacchio injured, so Stefano Pioli has been experimenting with his formation.

It’s a versatile 4-4-2 that can mutate into a 4-2-3-1 behind lone striker Rebic, with Paqueta, Hakan Calhanoglu and Giacomo Bonaventura fanning out in support.

Franck Kessie returns to the midfield with Ismael Bennacer.

Juventus: Buffon; Danilo, De Ligt, Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Bentancur, Pjanic, Matuidi; Douglas Costa, Dybala, Ronaldo

Milan: G Donnarumma: Conti, Kjaer, Romagnoli, Calabria; Kessie, Bennacer; Paqueta, Calhanoglu, Bonaventura; Rebic
