Juventus v Sampdoria - Coppa Italia Round of 16 latest

Cuadradro whips in a dangerous cross from the left flank but the keeper punches it behind.

But it's saved, and saved well at the near post by Falcone!

The hosts's have had three corners in quick succession but after two were cleared and they decided to play the third short, were forced back into their own half.

Juventus looked to be getting into a good spell of possession before attempting to unlock the Sampdoria defence but Arthur's wayward pass goes out for a throw-in.

The host's have enjoyed the opening five mintes of this game in posesssion of the ball. This could be a long evening for Sampdoria!

Juan Cuadrado is quick to close down his opponent and takes a ball in the stomach. He's down momentarily but up on his feet.

Sampdoria get us underway.

Juventus have a huge task on their hands if they are to fight for the Serie A title this season, they're currently nine points off of leaders Inter Milan.

It seems Paulo Dybala, who played 90 minutes and scored in their 2-0 win over Udinese at the weekend, is rested tonight.

Allegri, who has made seven changes this evening, will be able to call on the Argentine if needed as he only drops to the bench.

Dušan Vlahović has been tipped for a move to the Old Lady, beating Arsenal to the Strikers' signature.

Arthur Melo, also linked with the Gunners regarding an initial loan move, starts tonight.
