Florentina
Once again, Vincenzo Italiano rotated his Fiorentina squad at the weekend, in order to keep key men fresh for Wednesday, and with most players available he will now be tasked with settling on his strongest XI.
Having also netted twice in last month's win over Basel, the Argentina winger should support central striker Arthur Cabral from the right, but other places in Italiano's attacking unit appear up for grabs.
Czech playmaker Antonin Barak is among those in contention: the semi-final matchwinner played for final hosts Slavia Prague prior to moving to Italy.
Fiorentina possible starting lineup:
Terracciano; Dodo, Martinez Quarta, Milenkovic, Biraghi; Amrabat, Mandragora; Gonzalez, Bonaventura, Ikone; Cabral
West Ham
Both Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal also turned out at the Fortuna Arena during their time at the same club, and they should feature for West Ham in midweek.
Joining Soucek in the English side's engine room, captain Declan Rice will most likely sign off on his Hammers career before departing for pastures new this summer. Elsewhere, cup goalkeeper Alphonse Areola replaces Premier League first-choice Lukas Fabianski.
Gianluca Scamacca - recently linked with a loan move back to Serie A in the summer - is set to be West Ham's sole absentee, having recently undergone knee surgery. With his place almost uncontested, then, Michail Antonio starts up front.
West Ham United possible starting lineup:
Areola; Kehrer, Aguerd, Zouma, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Paqueta, Benrahma; Antonio
Prediction: Fiorentina 1-2 West Ham United
