After that great win against Inter, our players will be extremely exhausted with all that running that they did. Especially players like Seedorf who ran more than I've seen him do in years. However, we must not underestimate Zurich as they possess that ever important away goal which could come back to bite us.

Great work by the management leaving out Cardacio who could have got valuable experience playing in the UEFA Cup (a decision I'll never understand) so unless Pirlo is back, we may be forced to play 3 CDM's (assuming Seedorf is being rested for our match vs. Cagliari. Either way you slice it, Carlo is going to have some selection problems keeping in mind that Serie A is our goal. I think Dida is our keeper for the UEFA Cup. Kaka won't want to rest and this could be a good chance to foster his partnership with Dinho. I'd definitely rest our fullbacks though so I'd go for something like this:

Dida; Antonini, Bonera, Kaladze, Favalli

; Flamini, Ambro/Pirlo, Dinho, Kaka; Pato, Borriello/Sheva.

If Pirlo is going to start in this formation then he'll have to play like Clarence did on the weekend and run like crazy. Otherwise we just bench him and play Clarence in his position next time. There's still plenty time before the game so we'll see what squad Carlo puts out.
