The first leg was a shock 2-1 Viola victory in Turin, decided by a Mohamed Salah brace around Fernando Llorente’s temporary equaliser.

That saw Juventus lose their unbeaten home run after 38 wins and four draws in all competition, last losing to Bayern Munich in April 2013.

The Bianconeri’s chances of turning that around were hit by news Carlos Tevez is out of action with a muscular problem.

Andrea Barzagli is rested, so Max Allegri goes back to a four-man defence with Morata and Alessandro Matri leading the attack.

Claudio Marchisio had feared six months on the touchline, but it turns out his knee ligament was not damaged on international duty and he is back in the starting XI tonight.

Paul Pogba, Andrea Pirlo, Martin Caceres and Kwadwo Asamoah are still out of action.

Fiorentina are still missing David Pizarro and Ciprian Tatarusanu, while Milan Badelj is suspended, though Stefan Savic returns after injury and Manuel Pasqual is back on the bench.

Salah will be hoping to follow on from his fantastic brace in Turin, partnering Mario Gomez and Joaquin.

There are numerous players who are one booking away from suspension, so would miss the Final in Rome.

They are Borja Valero, Jasmin Kurtic, Mati Fernandez and Marchisio.

The other semi-final between Napoli and Lazio is tomorrow evening.

Fiorentina: Neto; Gonzalo Rodriguez, Basanta, Savic, Alonso; Aquilani, Mati Fernandez, Borja Valero; Joaquin, Gomez, Salah

Fiorentina bench: Rosati, Richards, Vargas, Gilardino, Kurtic, Diamanti, Pasqual, Babacar, Lazzari, Rosi, Tomovic, Ilicic
