Italy test the 4-3-3 and some new faces for tonight’s charity match against Haiti in Rio de Janeiro.
The game will raise funds for those affected by the devastating earthquakes in Haiti. It kicks off at 19.45 UK time.
Alessio Cerci gets the opportunity to show what he can do in the new 4-3-3 system, partnering Bologna duo Alberto Gilardino and Alessandro Diamanti.
Antonio Candreva, Alberto Aquilani and Emanuele Giaccherini also get a chance in midfield, while Mattia De Sciglio and Davide Astori are in defence.
It is possible Candreva and Diamanti will exchange positions during the match. PSG goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu gives Gigi Buffon a rest.
This will be Italy’s final match before the Confederations Cup, where they will face Mexico, Japan and Brazil.
Italy: Sirigu; Maggio, Bonucci, Astori, De Sciglio; Candreva, Aquilani, Giaccherini; Cerci, Gilardino, Diamanti
Haiti: Montrevil; Alcenat, La France, Aveska, Guerrier; Alexandre, Joseph, Desmarets, Monuma; Saint-Preux, Belfort
