Max Allegri ignored the summer signings in his opening 3-0 win over Cagliari and the only change made to that starting XI was forced upon him, as Claudio Marchisio is out for a month with a knee injury.

He is replaced by Sami Khedira as partner to Miralem Pjanic, while Stephan Lichtsteiner and Juan Cuadrado are again preferred to Mattia De Sciglio and Douglas Costa.

Genoa signings Gianluca Lapadula and Ricardo Centurion are only fit for the bench, while Andrea Bertolacci tries to rediscover his form after a dismal spell at Milan.

Veterans Goran Pandev and Adel Taarabt complete the trident attack with Andrej Galabinov.

Genoa: Perin; Biraschi, Rossettini, Gentiletti; Lazovic, Bertolacci, Veloso, Laxalt; Pandev, Galabinov, Taarabt

Juventus: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Rugani, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Pjanic; Khedira; Cuadrado, Dybala, Mandzukic; Higuain
