Match Time: September 7, 2010, 18:50 GMT 

Italy coach Cesare Prandelli is set to make wholesale changes to his team for tomorrow's Euro 2012 Group C qualifier against the Faroe Islands in Florence.

Prandelli tonight announced his line-up with just five players who started in Friday's 2-1 win over Estonia named.

"I want to see players that have the age and the quality to have a future in the national team,'' said Prandelli.

Bologna's Emiliano Viviano will start in goal with Salvatore Sirigu relegated to the bench while veteran Alberto Gilardino will partner Giuseppe Rossi and Antonio Cassano in attack.

Cassano was pivotal in Italy's opening-match win, which was Prandelli's first competitive match in charge, after he scored and set up his team's second.

Prandelli has warned his players not to underestimate tomorrow's opponents.

"I want a team that plays football,'' said Prandelli.

"I don't want to see a drop in concentration, we know we have to avoid making that mistake.

"I want to see a generous, courageous team, that doesn't have any regrets at the end of the game.''

Tomorrow's game at the Artemio Franchi stadium will have a special significance for Prandelli, who coached Fiorentina for five years before leaving the team this summer when offered the Azzurri job.

"Florence has represented for me more than a professional rapport,'' said Prandelli. "I immediately had a feeling for the city.

"I would have liked to have worked here for many more years but I could not say no to the national team. I consider Florence my city and I'm sure tomorrow I will get emotional.''

Faroe Islands have lost their opening two qualifiers.

"For us this is obviously a difficult game,'' said coach Brian Kerr.

"Our aim is to get at least four points in this qualifying round. We are starting to score away from home, as was the case against Estonia.

"We have a young team, with eight players that could play in the Under 21s and we just have four professionals.''

Faroe Islands attacking midfielder Christian Mouritsen is doubtful for the encounter with an ankle injury.

The 19-year-old Inter Milan striker, a target for Manchester City, will get another chance to impress the Eastlands outfit in Prandelli's first game as coach.

The former Fiorentina boss took over from Marcello Lippi after the World Cup, where Italy crashed out in the group stages.

"The idea of starting with Balotelli is that I want to use all the attacking potential at my disposal,'' said Prandelli on the Italian Football Federation's official website.

"I saw (in training) he was immediately eager to join the team. He knows that this is the beginning of a long journey.''

Balotelli looks likely to line up alongside Sampdoria striker Antonio Cassano against the Ivorians, who also failed to make it to the knock-out stages in South Africa.Watch Italy vs Ivory Coast Soccer Live streaming , Espn tv

But while they came up against Brazil and Portugal in the first round, losing to the South Americans after a goalless draw with the Portuguese, Italy suffered the humiliation of only drawing with New Zealand and then losing to Slovakia to finish rock bottom of what looked on paper one of the easiest groups in the tournament.

"They are strong team and tidy,'' added Prandelli. "It will be a good test.

"The players know this is important, because soon we will being playing games that matter.''

Brazil-born forward Amauri could also make his debut for Italy in the match.

Roma midfielder Daniele Di Rossi will captain a youthful Italy side, but he acknowledges he is unlikely to hold onto the armband when senior players return.

"I feel a special responsibility to be the captain, because, as at Roma, I have tried to put the young group at ease,'' said Di Rossi. "The armband will go, when the other players like (Gianluigi) Buffon, (Andrea) Pirlo and (Gianluca) Zambrotta, who have more appearances than me, return.''

Di Rossi also claimed there was no rift between himself and former Roma team-mate Cassano.

"With Cassano I had some problems but now everything is okay,'' he added. "I accept and respect all my team-mates without hesitation. Cassano is the most talented of players.

"Mario (also) impressed me with his footballing quality. The whole group is doing well.''

Ivory Coast will also be under the leadership of a new coach, with Francois Zahoui now in charge, former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson having been in the hotseat during the World Cup.
