Juventus look set to return to a 3-5-2 shape for the Derby d’Italia with Inter on Sunday evening.

The Bianconeri have been deploying a three-man defence during training at Vinovo in recent days, with just one session to go before the match.

Gigi Buffon will take his customary place in goal, with Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini in defence.

The enforced absence of both Martin Caceres and Stephan Lichtsteiner is likely to mean Juan Caudrado starts at right wing-back, with Patrice Evra on the other side.

Coach Massimiliano Allegri has a full midfield to choose from for the first time this season, so Sami Khedira, Paul Pogba and Claudio Marchisio should all start.

Pogba is the only doubt, as he suffered an ankle injury on France duty, so Hernanes will start if the youngster is not fully recovered.

Up-front, Alvaro Morata is likely to partner Paulo Dybala, with Simone Zaza ready to come on if a more direct approach is needed.

Probable Juventus team to face Inter: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Cuadrado, Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba, Evra; Morata, Dybala.
