Juventus are forced into numerous changes and are eager to get back on track in Serie A against rock bottom Sampdoria, who start Manolo Gabbiadini.
It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium at 19.45 GMT.
The Bianconeri are transformed after the midweek Europa League win over Freiburg, as Angel Di Maria, Federico Chiesa and Alex Sandro all picked up injuries.
They join Paul Pogba, Arkadiusz Milik and Kaio Jorge on the treatment table, while Moise Kean begins his two-match ban for the incredible red card 40 seconds after coming on against Roma.
Mattia Perin, Leonardo Bonucci and youth team player Enzo Barrenechea all get rare starts.
In Bonucci’s case, it is the first start in Serie A since November.
Sampdoria are decimated too and propping up the Serie A table, but at least Dejan Stankovic gets Gabbiadini back from his ban.
The rest is all back news, as goalkeeper Emil Audero dislocated his shoulder in training.
Sam Lammers, Michael Cuisance, Emirkhan Ilkhan, Jeison Murillo, Ignacio Pussetto, Andrea Conti and Manuel De Luca are unavailable.
After he was taken off in the first half against Salernitana for a poor attitude, Morocco international Abdelhamid Sabiri is benched along with Jese Rodriguez.
Sampdoria have one win and three draws in their last 14 Serie A matches, scoring just three goals in nine rounds.
When these sides met back in August, it ended 0-0 at Marassi, ending a run of seven consecutive Juve victories against the Blucerchiati in all competitions.
