Juventus-Empoli, the probable formations

Juventus faces Empoli in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia, an important goal after its elimination from the Champions League. The Bianconeri club, holder of the trophy, wants to confirm this season. To advance to the semifinals and face Bologna, Thiago Motta's team will have to overcome Empoli in a dry match at Allianz Stadium at 9 p.m.

For Juventus, Perin returns between the posts, McKennie remains trequartista, while Thuram flanks Koopmeiners, with Locatelli rested. In attack, room for Nico Gonzalez, with Kolo Muani and Vlahovic starting together for the first time. Absent are Douglas Luiz and Savona (out for 2 weeks), but recover Cambiaso.

D'Aversa, with his mind on the championship, fields Vasquez in goal and former De Sciglio in defense along with Cacace and Goglichidze. Colombo leads the attack, supported by Esposito and Kouamè. In the median will be Henderson and Grassi.
