26'

Dybala and Chiesa combine, the former laying a nice pass into the latter but he runs into trouble inside the Sassuolo penalty area.

23'

Dybala heads the ball into the path of Morata, who collides with Consigli, and although the Sassuolo goalkeeper comes out the worst, he'll be fine to continue.

22'

Appeals for handball! The ball is cut back to Rabiot from the by-line and his first-time is blocked inside the Sassuolo penalty. The referee, however, is unmoved.

21'

Dybala appears to be fouled as he receives the ball on the right channel, but the referee doesn't give Juventus the free-kick!

19'

Chance for Sassuolo! Juventus possession cheaply again; this time McKennie is the guilty party. Berardi checks inside and whips a shot towards goal, searching for the far post, and Perin has to be at full stretch to keep it out!

18'

Berardi nicks the ball from Alex Sandro down Juventus's left flank but Sassuolo fail to make the most of the opportunity on the break.

17'

Chiesa is surrounded by visiting defenders but almost picks out a through pass to Morata. Not this time, though.

15'

The injury to De Sciglio appears to have halted Juventus's momentum - for now, at least.

13'

De Sciglio limps off the pitch and appears to be in considerable pain. Alex Sandro takes his place.

De Sciglio goes down holding his knee and this doesn't look good for the Juventus defender. Alex Sandro is warming up.

10'

Muldur receives the ball on the overlap as Sassuolo build an attack but his cross is over the head of everyone.

Consigli has to be alert as De Sciglio mishits a cross and forces the Sassuolo goalkeeper into action, tipping the ball over the bar. The resulting corner delivery drops at the feet of Danilo but he can't control his volley and sends it wide.

Morata appears to be onside as he controls a long ball out of defence on the left flank. He fires a teasing cross into the middle - but no one is there. And then the offside flag goes up!

A mightily positive start from Juventus; Sassuolo are struggling to keep a hold of the ball for more than a few seconds.

Important block! Sassuolo make a mess while trying to play out from the back as Ferrari plays a loose pass which is pounced on by the hosts. Morata lays it off to Chiesa but Ferrari makes amends by blocking his shot.

Morata is played behind the Sassuolo defence but just as he's about to shoot the offside flag does up.

Great chance! Juventus should be ahead with barely two minutes on the clock! Chiesa whips in a free-kick delivery, there's a suspicion about offside but the flag stays down as Bonucci swipes wide with a first-time shot from point blank range!

Kick-off! Allegri is taking charge of his 200th game in charge of Juventus tonight! Can the Old Lady mark the occasion with victory?
