Mario Mandzukic is back again after missing the 2-1 win over Milan on Friday with a stomach bug, as is Juan Cuadrado, who was suspended.

Alex Telles was sent off in the first leg and therefore sits out a ban, but has made the trip to Turin with the squad anyway.

Ex-Atalanta full-back Miguel Layun gets to start in defence instead.

Hector Herrera and Jesus Corona have been out of action since late February.

Both teams will play with their third-choice kits, so Juventus are all in white and Porto all in black.

There was an incident this afternoon when around 100 Porto fans gathered in front of the Juventus HQ and let off some fireworks, but police quickly restored calm and it's reported no arrests were made.

Juventus (probable): Buffon; Dani Alves, Bonucci, Benatia, Alex Sandro; Marchisio, Khedira; Cuadrado, Dybala, Mandzukic; Higuain

Porto (probable): Casillas; Maxi Pereira, Marcano, Felipe, Layun; Danilo, Andre Andre, Oliver Torres; Brahimi, Andre Silva, Soares
