Dembele signed for Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund for €147million after the Catalan side had lost Neymar to PSG.
He came off the bench for his debut during the 5-0 win over Espanyol on the weekend, setting up Luis Suarez for a goal, and he starts against Juventus.
It is a strong Barcelona team as they look to get off to the best possible start.
Juventus boss Max Allegri has injury problems so Bentancur makes his first start for the team whilst Blaise Matuidi and Douglas Costa also start.
Gianluigi Buffon starts in goal, and he is still yet to concede against Lionel Messi.
TEAMS IN FULL:
Barcelona - Ter Stegen; Semedo, Piqué, Umtiti, Alba; Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta; Dembélé, Messi, Suarez.
Juventus - Buffon; De Sciglio, Barzagli, Benatia, Alex Sandro; Bentancur, Pjanic, Matuidi; Douglas Costa, Higuain, Dybala
