Therefore, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Nicolo Barella will all start.

On the flanks, meanwhile, Federico Dimarco and Denzel Dumfries will start.

In defense, Francesco Acerbi could start against Juventus, keeping his place from Monday’s win over Fiorentina. Or, on the other hand, Stefan de Vrij could return to the lineup.
