Ukraine cannot afford to drop any more points after being held to a surprise 1-1 draw by Georgia on Saturday, having conceded a late equaliser. Anything less than victory from this match would leave them practically no chance of reaching next year's finals. Ukraine are fourth on 13 points but have a game in hand. Italy are third in the group with 17 points, two points behind leaders France.

Italians Daniele De Rossi, Andrea Pirlo and Gianluca Zambrotta are doubts for the Ukraine match while striker Luca Toni is again out with a thigh strain.

Ukraine: 1-Olexander Shovkovsky; 3-Olexander Kucher, 5-Volodymyr Yezersky, 6-Andriy Rusol, 13-Dmytro Chygrynsky; 4-Anatoly Tymoshchuk, 8-Oleg Shelaev, 9-Oleg Gusev, 18-Serhiy Nazarenko; 7-Andriy Shevchenko, 10-Andriy Voronin
