Giampiero Ventura is reportedly set to stick with 3-5-2 when Italy take on Spain at Juventus Stadium in 2018 World Cup qualifying this evening.
Alessio Romagnoli has already been confirmed as Giorgio Chiellini’s replacement in central defence, the Juventus man suspended.
Calciomercato adds Daniele De Rossi’s “experience” looks to be a better bet than the “quality” of Marco Verratti in the middle of the park, while Graziano Pelle and Eder’s “reliable” partnership up top is likely to remain in vogue.

The two countries’ last meeting came only four months ago at Euro 2016, when the Azzurri triumphed 2-0 to reach the tournament’s quarter-finals.
Italy (probable): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Romagnoli; Florenzi, Parolo, De Rossi, Bonaventura, De Sciglio; Pelle, Eder
Spain (probable): De Gea; Carvajal, Pique, Ramos, Alba; Koke, Busquets, Iniesta; Silva, Costa, Vitolo
