Juventus have Giorgio Chiellini on the bench for their big trip to Fiorentina tonight, as Alessandro Matri and Mirko Vucinic take on Amauri.
The Bianconeri need a victory to keep up with Serie A leaders Milan and are without Andrea Barzagli, while ex-Viola defender Chiellini is only fit for the bench.
The forward line picked by Antonio Conte for this grudge match is Matri, Vucinic and Simone Pepe.
Fiorentina have to do without the injured Stevan Jovetic, Dias Felipe and Per Kroldrup, while Valon Behrami failed to shake off a knock and is another late addition to the injury list.
Amauri has a particularly special game, as he hopes to score his first goal in a Viola jersey against the club he left under bitter circumstances in January.
Fiorentina fans have turned up wearing wigs to mock Juventus Coach Conte’s hair.
