Leonardo’s side look to continue impressive home form in Coppa Italia clash

The hosts, who have won their last 12 league games at San Siro, have the advantage heading into the match after winning 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in the first leg

PROBABLE LINE-UPS

Inter (4-4-2): Julio Cesar; Maicon, Ranocchia, Lucio, Chivu; Zanetti, Cambiasso, Kharja, Coutinho; Pazzini, Eto'o.

Inter coach Leonardo will welcome Yuto Nagatomo and Dejan Stankovic back into the fold. The Japan international has recovered from flu while the Serbian captain has shaken off a muscle injury. Wesley Sneijder and Thiago Motta trained apart from the rest of the team and will not feature.

Roma (4-2-3-1): Doni; Cassetti, Burdisso, Juan, Riise; Pizarro, De Rossi; Perrotta, Simplicio, Vucinic; Borriello.

Roma coach Vincenzo Montella is without a host of players, including captain Francesco Totti who is serving the last match of his ban for chopping down Mario Balotelli in the cup final last year. Taddei is also suspended, while Matteo Brighi is out for the season after fracturing his fibula at the weekend against AC Milan.
