    Sami Khedira's suspension means it looks like a switch to three at the back for Juve. There is no place for Juan Cuadrado in the side, as Claudio Marchisio comes in. Tiemoue Bakayoko starts despite a broken nose for the hosts. Thomas Lemar is also fit enough to start. Fabinho takes his spot in midfield, with Joao Moutinho dropping to the bench.
