Francisco Conceicao, Kenan Yildiz and Douglas Luiz support Dusan Vlahovic as Juventus host VfB Stuttgart in the Champions League.

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Milan-Club Brugge and Aston Villa-Bologna on the Liveblog.

The Bianconeri won both opening European fixtures, beating PSV Eindhoven 3-1, then fighting back when down to 10 men for an incredible 3-2 victory away to RB Leipzig.

Michele Di Gregorio was sent off in that match and is therefore suspended, replaced by Mattia Perin in goal.

Nico Gonzalez, Teun Koopmeiners, Gleison Bremer and Arek Milik are injured, with Kenan Yildiz and Conceicao fanning out around Vlahovic.

Weston McKennie returns in midfield with Nicolò Fagioli and Danilo makes a rare start in defence.

Douglas Luiz was going to get his second consecutive start, but pulled out in the warm-up, so was replaced by Khephren Thuram.
