Gigi Di Biagio still has a couple of doubts in the Italy line-up to face Argentina tomorrow, but aims to use Jorginho and Marco Verratti in a 4-3-3.
The friendly kicks off in Manchester on Friday evening and is the first test under the Interim Italy Coach.
According to the latest reports following the training session and the squad’s departure for England, it’s Di Biagio’s usual 4-3-3 formation.

There are a few doubts, as Daniele Rugani or Angelo Ogbonna will partner Leonardo Bonucci in central defence in the absence of injured Giorgio Chiellini.
Marco Parolo of Lazio is facing a local derby with Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini for a starting spot, but it’s predicted to be a very creative pairing of Napoli’s Jorginho and Verratti of PSG.
In attack, Antonio Candreva seems to have won the race with Federico Chiesa for the right side of the trident, with Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne confirmed starters.
Italy (probable): Buffon; Florenzi, Rugani (Ogbonna), Bonucci, Spinazzola; Parolo (Pellegrini), Jorginho, Verratti; Candreva, Immobile, Insigne
