The highlight fixtures see the Milan giants take on the heavyweights from Rome.
Inter host Roma at the Giuseppe Meazza in the first knockout game on February 8. The Nerazzurri will come into the clash only three days after their highly-anticipated top-of-the-table encounter against eternal rivals Milan in the Derby della Madoninna. Roma on the other hand, have a comparatively easier game on their hand, as they prepare to face relegation contenders Genoa at the Stadio Olimpico.
In the next mouthwatering clash, long-standing rivals Milan and Lazio tussle it out on the green pastures of the San Siro, just a day after Inter play Roma. The Rossoneri will have an extra day of rest after the derby clash against Inter, whereas Lazio play Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Atalanta welcome Fiorentina in Bergamo in the third quarter-final on February 10, the same day Sassuolo visit Allianz Stadium in Turin in the fourth tie-off.
The Bianconeri will be looking to win their record 15th Italian Cup title, after having conquered the shield last season by defeating Atalanta 2-1 in the final.
