TEAM NEWS

After missing Lazio match due to an injury from international duties with Argentina, Paulo Dybala returns in Juventus squad as he hopes to get some minutes today.

Juventus will be without Danilo who’s set to be out of action at least for two months.

Giorgio Chiellini, Aaron Ramsey, Federico Bernardeschi and Mattia de Sciglio are all out of today’s match.

EXPECTED STARTING XI

Even though Juventus played with three at the back in the win against Lazio on Saturday, today they’ll possibly play with back four with Leonardo Bonucci and Matthijs de Ligt in the centre of the defence.

Juan Cuadrado will surely start as a right back following Danilo’s injury, and Alex Sandro is probably set to retain his starting position ahead of Luca Pellegrini who started the game against Lazio.

In form Weston McKennie hopes to make his fourth start in a row for Juventus in all competitions, but probably as a right midfielder since Rodrigo Bentancur who hasn’t started in the last three games might accompany Manuel Locatelli in the midfield.

Adrien Rabiot could start as well from the left flank of the midfield, with Álvaro Morata and Federico Chiesa leading the front-line today.

JUVENTUS PROBABLE XI (4-4-2)

Szczesny – Cuadrado, Bonucci, De Ligt, Alex Sandro – McKennie, Bentancur, Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot – Álvaro Morata, Federico Chiesa.
