Did you know? Juventus have only lost one of their 16 Serie A matches against Sassuolo (12W, 3D): 0-1, in October 2015, thanks to a goal from Nicola Sansone, in a midweek round. In fact, the Bianconeri have won seven of their eight Serie A matches against Sassuolo at the Stadium, with the Bianconeri having scored 23 goals.

Maxi Allegri (speaking to press on Tuesday): "Tomorrow is an important match for us, the boys know that we have to win. The points that we lost at the beginning of the season don't allow us to have large margins of error. Tomorrow, we will have to take to the field to play a balanced match, both from a technical and physical point of view."

For the visitors, Hamad Toure comes in for the injured Filip Djuricic, with Gregoire Defrel leading the attack.

Federico Chiesa is restored to the Juventus fold after starting on the bench in the 1-1 draw with Inter in which Maxi Allegri's side looked lacklustre for large parts. The newly-fit Paulo Dybala, who was also a substitute but rescued a point with his late penalty, also starts. Mattia Perin comes in for Wojciech Szczesny in goal and Matthijs de Ligt replaces Giorgio Chiellini in defence.
