Italy
Antonio Conte has already confirmed he will be making a number of changes after already securing top spot in Group E inside two matches.
Eder, Daniele De Rossi, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Gianluigi Buffon and Tiago Motta are all a booking away from a suspension, though Bonucci and Motta are in line to start.
Federico Bernardeschi and Stephan El Shaarawy are battling for a place on the right.
Antonio Candreva picked up a hamstring injury against Sweden and will not be risked here.
Ireland
Jonathan Walters missed the 3-0 defeat against Belgium with a heel problem and he remains a huge doubt for Ireland's must win match against Italy on Wednesday.
Martin O'Neil will reportedly axe three of the back four that started against Belgium with Seamus Coleman set to be the only survivor. Shane Duffy and Richard Keogh could replace Ciaran Clark and John O'Shea at the heart of the defence, while Robbie Brady will return to left-back.
Shane Long could also be dropped in favour of Daryl Murphy and then be brought off the bench as an impact sub later on in the game. James McCarthy could be replaced by Stephen Quinn as another change.
Ireland cannot afford to be too conservative in this match as they have done in the first two matches as they need to win to have any chance of progressing out of the group.
