GK: Gianluigi Donnarumma - England's nemesis in the Euro 2020 final, Donnarumma has six clean sheets in 11 club appearances this season.RB: Giovanni Di Lorenzo - Pasquale Mazzocchi has earned his first call-up but he's still got a long way to go to displace Di Lorenzo.CB: Alessandro Bastoni - The new star of Italy's defence, there will be plenty of scouts in attendance watching 23-year-old Bastoni.CB: Leonardo Bonucci - Bonucci hasn't enjoyed the best start with Juventus this year and will likely be relishing the chance to focus on his country instead.LB: Emerson - Mancini declined to call up Destiny Udogie for this round of fixtures, with many fans frustrated at the idea of seeing Emerson start once again.DM: Jorginho - The Chelsea man is one of those players who appears to play better for their country than their club.CM: Nicolo Barella - Barella has two goals and two assists in seven Serie A outings this year.CM: Sandro Tonali - Marco Verratti is likely to miss out through injury, which should open the door for Tonali to earn another start.RW: Vincenzo Grifo - Injuries haven't been kind to Italy up top. Matteo Politano is the latest casualty, so Grifo may be needed to fill in on the right.ST: Gianluca Scamacca - Scamacca has endured a slow start to life at West Ham but still looks like Italy's striker of the future.Limited options could see young Gnonto handed another start.
