Juventus look to Dusan Vlahovic and Kenan Yildiz in their opening Serie A game against Cesc Fabregas’ Como.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET (18:45 GMT) at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

Thiago Motta will start three new signings: Michele Di Gregorio, Khephren Thuram and Douglas Luiz while the fourth summer signing, Juan Cabal, is fighting with Danilo for a starting spot in defence.

Motta is short of options given that several players, including Federico Chiesa, Arthur, Mattia De Sciglio and Filip Kostic are out of the project and are not training with the first team. Therefore, they won’t be available tonight.

Arkadiuz Milik, Vasilije Adžić and Fabio Miretti are injured.

On the other hand, Fabregas will look to Pepe Reina in goal, Andrea Belotti and Patrick Cutrone in attack.

Alessio Iovine is suspended, Luca Mazzitelli and Raphael Varane are injured. The ex-Manchester United centre-back is expected to remain out of action for over a month with a knee injury.
