AC Milan face Torino in the Coppa Italia this evening as Stefano Pioli looks to set up a date with Juventus in the semi finals. Milan beat SPAL 3-0 in the previous round with an incredible contribution for benched striker Piatek who scored one and provided an assist. Gianluca di Marzio is reporting that new signing Asmir Begovic will likely make his debut. The defence and midfield will remain the same as the league games.

Begovic; Conti, Musacchio, Romagnoli, Theo ; Samu Castillejo, Kessié, Bennacer, Çalhanoglu; Piatek, Rebic [@DiMarzio]
The notable rotation will be in attack where Pioli looks to opt for Ante Rebic and Krzysztof Piatek to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Rafael Leao for the tie. The duo started the game against SPAL as well.
