Juventus look to Francisco Conceicao, Jonathan David and Weston McKennie against Atalanta’s Gianluca Scamacca, Giacomo Raspadori and Charles De Ketelaere in the Coppa Italia quarter-final.
It kicks off at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo at 20.00 GMT (21.00 CET).
You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens on the Liveblog.
This is a one-off match, to be decided after 90 minutes, or going directly to a penalty shoot-out, so there is no provision for extra time.
Whoever wins will go through to face either Bologna or Lazio in the semi-final.
This clash is a repeat of the 2024 Coppa Italia Final, which ended 1-0 for Juve, but is also the last time they managed to beat La Dea.
The Bianconeri are on sparkling form lately, surging into fourth place, winning nine of their last 12 competitive games, losing only once.
However, Kenan Yildiz is not fully fit with an adductor issue, but rather than bring in Fabio Miretti and move McKennie into a wide left role, instead Andrea Cambiaso is pushed into a more advanced position.
Francisco Conceicao also supports Jonathan David, with only Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik still injured.
New signings Jeremie Boga and Emil Holm are on the bench after their deadline day transfers.
Atalanta had been a transformed side since Raffaele Palladino took over from Ivan Juric, but that progress stalled slightly.
Since mid-January they’ve managed just one 4-0 win over Parma, two draws and two Champions League defeats, but still booked their place in the play-offs against Borussia Dortmund.
On Sunday they grabbed a 0-0 draw away to Como despite Honest Ahanor’s red card after just 8 minutes and a last-gasp Marco Carnesecchi save on Nico Paz’s penalty.
Raspadori was rested for that game and returns to the starting XI with De Ketelaere and Scamacca.
Ahanor gets another chance to prove himself after that dismissal.
Atalanta vs. Juventus line-ups
Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Djimsiti, Ahanor; Zappacosta, De Roon, Ederson, Bernasconi; De Ketelaere, Raspadori; Scamacca
Juventus: Perin; Kalulu, Bremer, Gatti, Kelly; Thuram, Locatelli; Conceicao, McKennie, Cambiaso; David
