The Old Lady put in their best performance of the season when winning 3-0 away to Barcelona in the Champions League midweek, allowing them to top the group.

They need to translate that form to Serie A, though, where Andrea Pirlo’s men have often struggled against the smaller clubs.

Giorgio Chiellini and Merih Demiral are still out injured, but even though Morata’s two-match ban was halved on appeal, he is left on the bench in favour of Dybala.

This is Cristiano Ronaldo’s 100th competitive game in the Juventus jersey.

Genoa are still struggling near the drop zone, but have made themselves quite hard to beat and can count on fascinating Under-21 international striker Gianluca Scamacca.
