The Bianconeri are struggling after one point from three rounds and risk sliding into third place, let alone keeping up the Scudetto dream with leaders Inter.

Danilo returns from suspension, but Gleison Bremer is on the naughty step instead, so Daniele Rugani steps into defence.

Federico Chiesa disappointed in the shock 1-0 home defeat to Udinese, so Yildiz is chosen to partner the returning Vlahovic, who has shaken off injury.

Moise Kean, Mattia Perin, Paul Pogba and Nicolò Fagioli are all long-term absentees.

Verona are in the bottom three, but fresh off a creditable 0-0 draw away to mid-table Monza.

Juan Manuel Cruz and Alessandro Berardi are out, but Karol Swiderski is available after an ankle problem.

Despite poor results in recent weeks, Verona did hold Lazio to a 1-1 draw and only narrowly lost to Fiorentina, Inter, Roma and Napoli.

When these sides met back on October 28, Juventus only scraped a 1-0 victory with Andrea Cambiaso at the 96th minute.
