Italy manager Antonio Conte has named his starting XI for Tuesday's international friendly with England 24 hours early.

There are a total of eight changes to the side that drew 2-2 with Bulgaria in Euro 2016 qualifying on Saturday, with Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini and Matteo Darmian the only players keeping their place.

The only Premier League representative in the team is Southampton striker Graziano Pelle, who partners Eder in attack.

Conte's opposite number Roy Hodgson refused to divulge his starting lineup, but did reveal that Harry Kane would make his full debut and partner captain Wayne Rooney in attack.

Italy XI to face England: Buffon; Ranocchia, Bonucci, Chiellini; Florenzi, Parolo, Valdifiori, Soriano, Darmian; Pelle, Eder
