The Bianconeri beat Napoli last week to recapture top spot for the first time this season, setting a new club record of 15 consecutive Serie A victories.
Now the pressure is on to maintain that position and their new status as Scudetto favourites, especially with a Champions League clash against Bayern Munich coming up on Tuesday.
Some decisions are foisted upon Max Allegri, as Giorgio Chiellini, Sami Khedira, Alex Sandro, Mario Mandzukic, Kwadwo Asamoah and Martin Caceres are unavailable.
The Coach hopes to have Chiellini, Khedira and Mandzukic back against Bayern.
He had been widely expected to rest Bonucci after the defender limped off during the 1-0 win over Napoli with a bruised knee, but there’s still no faith in Italy Under-21 international Daniele Rugani.
Stefano Sturaro gets a rare start and Roberto Pereyra is picked in a change of formation to 4-3-1-2.
Zaza gets the nod after his last-gasp goal against Napoli, partnering Morata so Paulo Dybala can rest.
Bologna have been on spectacular form since Roberto Donadoni replaced Delio Rossi and would currently be in fourth place had the campaign started at that moment.

Mattia Destro has scored all but one of his goals on home turf this season and aims for another this evening.
There was a scare for the Bianconeri on the way to the stadium when a paper bomb was thrown at the team bus, but no injuries are reported, just a very loud bang.
Juve have won their last five meetings with Bologna, home and away, scoring 10 goals and conceding two. They kept three clean sheets.
The Bianconeri are unbeaten at the Dall’Ara since a 3-0 thrashing on November 29 1998, as the hosts managed just four stalemates and nine losses.
