SKY:
Buffon
Ogbonna - Bonucci - Chiellini
Isla - Pogba - Pirlo - Marchisio - Peluso
Llorente - Quag
I'm not sure how Llorente - Quag are going to work together since neither of them is creative, but they are good in the air so hopefully they'll see many good crosses towards them.

Without speaking about the quality of the players, I'd certainly suggest Quagliarella is, in theory, the least appropriate partner for Llorente.
Llorente is by far the best header we got. But quag is a clear second. by having both, conte will likely have the wingbacks target Llorente. Thing is, quag provides additional danger in the air, while beeing good at creating space for himself, so good at the offballs.
To back this all up, looking at above formation, Conte would select his best crossers in Peluso and isla.
I'm thinking this game is partially a test by Conte. The maximal aerial threat, and seeing how it performs.
