The starting XI for Tuesday's Italy-Republic of Ireland friendly has been confirmed with Giuseppe Rossi and Giampaolo Pazzini in attack.
Unlike the one used in the 3-0 victory over Estonia, this system does have a recognised centre-forward and does not appear to include a trequartista.
Cesare Prandelli named his line-up in today's Press conference with numerous changes from Friday.
Only Giorgio Chiellini, Riccardo Montolivo, Claudio Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo and Rossi remain from the side that started against Estonia.
