Coppa line-ups: Juventus v Roma

-

Juventus launch Douglas Costa alongside Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano Ronaldo in the Coppa Italia quarter-final, as Roma are forced to reshuffle again.

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 19.45 GMT.

The winner will be decided after 90 minutes or extra time and go on to face either Milan or Torino in the two-legged semi-final.

Maurizio Sarri brings in some different faces, such as Gianluigi Buffon in goal, Daniele Rugani in defence and Rodrigo Bentancur in midfield, while Paulo Dybala is initially rested in favour of Douglas Costa.

Initially, this’ll be part of a 4-3-3 formation, but the Brazilian has been tested as a trequartista behind the strikers too.

Alex Sandro and Juan Cuadrado are not 100 per cent fit, with Mattia De Sciglio, Giorgio Chiellini, Sami Khedira and Merih Demiral injured.

Roma have a decimated squad, because hitman Edin Dzeko sits out a ban, so Nikola Kalinic is the only real option upfront.

Javier Pastore, Federico Fazio, Nicolò Zaniolo, Diego Perotti, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Mirco Antonucci and Davide Zappacosta are still injured.

It means squad rotation isn’t really possible just days before the Derby della Capitale with arch rivals Lazio in Serie A on Sunday.

Alessandro Florenzi and Aleksandar Kolarov do return, as they were suspended for the Serie A victory away to Genoa.

Juventus: Buffon; Danilo, Rugani, Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Bentancur, Pjanic, Rabiot; Douglas Costa, Higuain, Ronaldo

Juventus bench: Szczesny, Pinsoglio, De Ligt, Coccolo, Ramsey, Matuidi, Emre Can, Dybala, Cuadrado, Pjaca, Bernardeschi

Roma: Pau Lopez; Florenzi, Mancini, Smalling, Kolarov; Diawara, Cristante; Under, Pellegrini, Kluivert; Kalinic

Roma bench: Cardinali, Fuzato, Juan Jesus, Cetin, Santon, Fazio, Veretout, Peres, Spinazzola, Estrella

India 340 for 6 (Dhawan 96, Rahul 80, Kohli 78, Zampa 3-50) beat Australia 304 (Smith 98, Jadeja 2-58, Yadav 2065) by 36 runs For the second series in a row, India stayed alive having fallen 1-0 behind and lost the toss in the second, thanks again to batting full of intent that gave their bowlers a total they could defend. In doing so, they might even have found a solution to their biggest problem in ODI cricket post Yuvraj Singh: middle-order batting. India began the series looking to find space to squeeze KL Rahul in the top order. Instead, batting at No. 5 with that experiment lasting only one match, Rahul responded with a 52-ball 80 to take India to 340 after they threatened to end up with little over 300 despite fifties from Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli. India lost wickets in two braces, which reduced them to 198 for 3 and 280 for 5, but Rahul played a part in pulling India out of strife on both occasions. If it was Adam Zampa's analysis of 3 for 50 kept India
