Atalanta are expected to count on Ruslan Malinovskyi, Duvan Zapata and Matteo Pessina, while Juventus have Cristiano Ronaldo, Federico Chiesa and Paulo Dybala in the Coppa Italia Final.

It kicks off at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT) on Wednesday at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia.

La Dea have not won the Coppa Italia since 1963, but lost the final to Lazio two years ago.

There is practically a full squad for Gian Piero Gasperini to count on and he seems set to choose Pessina with Duvan Zapata and on-form Malinovskyi.

This would allow for Luis Muriel and Josip Ilicic to come off the bench and use their pace against tired legs.

Juve are missing Leonardo Bonucci and Alex Sandro, so Juan Cuadrado and Giorgio Chiellini will start, with Danilo at left-back.

Dybala gets the nod with Ronaldo rather than Alvaro Morata, with Chiesa and Weston McKennie most likely to take the wide roles.

Rodrigo Bentancur is expected to start in midfield, as he is suspended for Sunday’s Serie A clash with Bologna.

Probable line-ups

Atalanta: Gollini; Toloi, Romero, Djimsiti; Hateboer, De Roon, Freuler, Gosens; Pessina; Malinovskyi, Duvan Zapata

Juventus: Buffon; Cuadrado, De Ligt, Chiellini, Danilo; McKennie, Bentancur, Rabiot, Chiesa; Dybala, Cristiano Ronaldo
