Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and Juan Cuadrado are set to start up front with Blaise Matuidi, Miralem Pjanic and Rodrigo Bentancur in the middle of the park.
The Italian tactician has only one doubt at the back where either Joao Cancelo or Alex Sandro will rest to leave space to Mattia De Sciglio.
