The Bianconeri won the trophy last season and are eager to consolidate their grip on this competition, but the Nerazzurri knocked Napoli out in the quarter-finals and are not to be underestimated.

Juve have Simone Zaza suspended, while Sami Khedira, Mario Lemina and Roberto Pereyra are unavailable.

Paulo Dybala and Gigi Buffon are rested, but Juan Guillermo Cuadrado gets a rare start.

Stefano Sturaro was expected to start, but pulled out with an ankle problem, so Kwadwo Asamoah gets the nod in midfield.

Morata tries to break his lengthy goal drought, which has lasted since October, alongside Mandzukic.

Inter have slipped down the Serie A standings recently, going from leaders before Christmas to fourth place.

Roberto Mancini was highly critical of Mauro Icardi’s performance at the weekend in a 1-1 draw with Carpi, noting “I’m 50 and I could’ve scored some of those goals.”

Icardi is dropped in favour of Jovetic, Ljajic and Jonathan Biabiany in a trident attack, while Ivan Perisic is out injured.

Mancio had been expected to mirror Juve’s 3-5-2 formation, but has instead gone for 4-3-3.

The referee this evening is Paolo Tagliavento.
