Juventus coach Thiago Motta is dealing with a selection crisis in attack, so Teun Koopmeiners and Weston McKennie will likely start up front in a key Serie A game against Atalanta.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 GMT).
It’s a rescheduled fixture from Round 19, when both sides were involved in the Supecoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia.
Atalanta recover Italy international Mateo Retegui, but the ex-Genoa star is expected to start on the bench.

Berat Djimsiti was given ten stitches after a head injury against Udinese on Saturday but trained with the rest of the team on Monday and is still expected to start.
Gianluca Scamacca, Juan Cuadrado and Odilon Kossounou are unavailable for La Dea.
Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik are injured for Juventus, but according to Gazzetta and Sky Sport, Nico Gonzalez will start as a right winger rather than a false nine, making room for Koopmeiners and McKennie in attack.
Andrea Cambiaso will return to the starting XI as a left-back, with Nicolò Savona on the opposite flank. Manuel Locatelli returns to action after a one-game ban in the Turin derby last weekend.
