Juventus travel to face Venezia as the Old Lady look to continue their momentum in Serie A after back-to-back victories.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side moved up to fifth in the table after last weekend’s 2-0 win over Genoa, with the Bianconeri targeting a return to the Champions League spots ahead of the forthcoming winter break.
Midweek brought a 1-0 victory at home to Malmo for Juventus in their final Champions League group game, crowning them as group winners following Chelsea’s 3-3 draw with Zenit.
Here’s how Juve could line up.
Wojciech Szczesny (GK) – Successive clean sheets, the former Arsenal stopper has recovered from a shaky start to the season.
Mattia De Sciglio (RB) – Made his return to the side with a substitute appearance in the midweek win over Malmo.
Matthijs de Ligt (CB) – The Dutchman has looked more assured in recent weeks alongside Chiellini.
Giorgio Chiellini (CB) – Successive clean sheets for Juventus in the league since the veteran came into the side.
Luca Pellegrini (LB) – Should retain his place in the defence after a string of impressive performances.
Juan Cuadrado (RM) – His pace and directness will cause Venezia issues on the flanks.
Rodrigo Bentancur (CM) – Produced a stellar midfield performance against Genoa last time out.
Manuel Locatelli (CM) – The Italy international is forming a blossoming partnership with Bentancur in midfield.
Federico Bernardeschi (LM) – A more offensive option than Adrien Rabiot on the left hand side.
Paulo Dybala (ST) – Standout performance in the win over Genoa, with Juve relying heavily upon his goals this season.
Alvaro Morata (ST) – Guilty of being wasteful in front of goal, but his link-up play with Dybala is improving.
