Juventus hold a two-goal advantage going into the second leg in Turin and the host's team is more or less the same as the first leg.

Khedira comes in to partner Miralem Pjanic in the centre of midfield with Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala supporting Gonzalo Higuain in attack.

Monaco, who have their eyes on the Ligue 1 title, rest Fabinho and Lemar and start Andrea Raggi, and Nabil Dirar.

This could mean a move to a 3-5-2 from Leonardo Jardim with Radamel Falcao and Kylian Mbappe up front, and Bernardo Silva just behind them.

Teams in full:

Juventus - Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Alves, Pjanić, Khedira, Sandro; Dybala, Mandžukić; Higuain.

Monaco - Subasic; Raggi, Jemerson, Glik, Sidibé; Moutinho, Bakayoko; Dirar, Silva; Falcao, Mbappé.
