Coppa Italia holders and Serie A leaders Inter Milan kick off their cup campaign on Wednesday evening, when they welcome in-form Bologna to San Siro.
Victory would set up a repeat of last season's final against Fiorentina in the quarter-finals, but the Nerazzurri's visitors arrive in the second city on the back of three wins from four in the league.
Top of the table by four points from Juventus in Serie A, Simone Inzaghi's side have posted more victories combined with a clean sheet (11) than any other club across Europe's top five leagues in 2023-24, while also averaging nearly 2.5 goals per game.
Sunday's 2-0 win against Lazio saw Inzaghi get one over on his former club, as Inter's first league defeat of the capital club in Rome for five years was sealed by goals from inspirational captain Lautaro Martinez and his strike partner Marcus Thuram.
Having lost just once in all competitions, and not at all since September, the Nerazzurri have now won 13 of their first 16 matches in a Serie A season for just the second time in their long and illustrious history.
