Fiorentina host Pisa in Coppa Italia derby, line-ups confirmed | OneFootball

Fiorentina host Pisa at the Artemio Franchi as the Tuscan derby rounds off Tuesday's Coppa Italia programme, kick-off 21:00 local time, 20:00 UK.

According to Football Italia, the tie carries added weight for the hosts. Fabio Grosso has been sacked and Paolo Vanoli has returned, with a cup run offering the quickest route to something tangible while the league position is repaired.

Vanoli sets Fiorentina in a 4-3-3 with David de Gea in goal, a back four of Joao Mario, Radu Dragusin, Marin Pongracic and Valdepenas, Cher Ndour, Oulai and Marco Brescianini in midfield, Franco Mastantuono, Pellegrino and Wilfried Gnonto in attack.

Pisa start Simone Scuffet behind a back three of Simone Canestrelli, Caracciolo and Primasso. Zanon and Leris operate as wing-backs with Loyola and Piccinini in midfield, Ferrah and Rao play behind Pittarello.

The visitors arrive as clear underdogs with little to lose in this derby.
