Italy take on Montenegro tonight with the all-Bianconeri trident attack of Antonio Di Natale, Fabio Quagliarella and Vincenzo Iaquinta.
The first two play together for Udinese, while the centre-forward wears the same colours for Juventus, but they unite in the Azzurri jersey in Podgorica this evening.
You can watch the entire match LIVE online, kick-off is at 19.45 UK time.
Marcello Lippi has not wavered from the line-up he has been testing throughout the week leading up to this 2010 World Cup qualifier.
Angelo Palombo joins Daniele De Rossi and Andrea Pirlo in midfield, while the defence has Gianluca Zambrotta, Fabio Cannavaro, Giorgio Chiellini and Fabio Grosso.
This is nominally a 4-3-3, but can transform into a 4-2-3-1 with Pirlo moving up to join the players supporting Iaquinta.
Montenegro must do without their top scorer Mirko Vucinic, as the Roma striker is suspended for this tie.
Fiorentina teenager Stevan Jovetic is therefore given even more responsibility in the squad, who will want to impress the 11,000 fans packed into the City Stadium.
