Sky Sport Italia now report Khedira was used in the practice starting XI this morning, as Max Allegri wanted a final test.

It would be a surprise to see him in the line-up considering his injury concerns and the fact a Champions League clash with Bayern Munich is coming up later this month.

Stefano Sturaro is the favourite to feature instead, as Mario Lemina, Mario Mandzukic, Kwadwo Asamoah, Martin Caceres and Giorgio Chiellini miss out.

The system could be 4-4-2 or 4-3-3, depending on which position Juan Guillermo Cuadrado takes.

Juventus (probable): Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Barzagli, Evra; Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba; Cuadrado, Morata, Dybala

Napoli (probable): Reina; Hysaj, Albiol, Koulibaly, Ghoulam; Allan, Jorginho, Hamsik; Callejon, Higuain, Insigne
