The away goals rule no longer applies in Europe this season, so whoever wins the match today goes through to the semi-final.

Berat Djimsiti and Remo Freuler have recovered after missing the weekend defeat to Sassuolo, but it is Hans Hateboer who starts in a four-man defence rather than Giorgio Scalvini.

The big news is upfront, where Gian Piero Gasperini goes all-out attack with Malinovskyi, Teun Koopmeiners and Boga supporting Duvan Zapata in what appears to be a 4-2-3-1 formation.

RB Leipzig are missing Amadou Haidara, but otherwise have a full squad at their disposal with Yussuf Poulsen returning.

Former Milan striker Andre Silva saw his penalty saved by Juan Musso in the first leg, but Davide Zappacosta scored an own goal almost immediately afterwards.

It was a high-octane match in Leipzig, with both teams rattling the woodwork twice.
