Daniele De Rossi is not fit to start, which is bad news for Italy as Thiago Motta is also suspended. Stefano Sturaro comes into the midfield. Germany have had an interesting reshuffle, with Benedikt Howedes replacing Julian Draxler. That suggests they are going to match Italy’s back three.

Germany (possible 3-4-2-1) Neuer; Howedes, Boateng, Hummels; Kimmich, Khedira, Kroos, Hector; Muller, Ozil; Gomez.
Substitutes: Leno, ter Stegen, Mustafi, Schweinsteiger, Schurrle, Podolski, Draxler, Can, Weigl, Tah, Gotze, Sane.

Italy (possible 3-1-4-2) Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Parolo; Florenzi, Sturaro, Giaccherini, De Sciglio; Pelle, Eder.
Substitutes: Sirigu, Marchetti, Darmian, Ogbonna, Zaza, Candreva, Immobile, De Rossi, Insigne, Bernardeschi, El Shaarawy.
