Juventus make changes with Mattia Perin, Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala hosting Pippo Inzaghi’s Bologna, fresh from beating Roma.

The Bianconeri have won every game this season between Serie A and the Champions League, so have every confidence of making it seven in a row.
Max Allegri rotates the squad and moves to a 3-5-2 formation with the return of Andrea Barzagli from injury.
He gives goalkeeper Perin his debut since the move from Genoa over the summer, while Giorgio Chiellini, Alex Sandro and Mario Mandzukic are rested.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Dybala try to work on their partnership in the absence of Mandzukic.
Douglas Costa sits out his ban, with Sami Khedira, Mattia De Sciglio, Moise Kean and Leonardo Spinazzola also absent.
Bologna hadn’t scored a single goal this season until last week’s surprise 2-0 victory over Roma.
Coach Inzaghi, a former Juventus star, has quite a few issues to deal with, as Erick Pulgar is suspended with Andrea Poli, Godfred Donsah, Rodrigo Palacio and Filip Helander injured.
Adam Nagy is again given the midfield reins, but Ladislav Krejci, Mattia Destro and Diego Falcinelli lead the attack in a 3-5-2 formation.
The last time Bologna beat Juventus was a 2-0 Turin success in February 2011, followed by three draws and 10 defeats, home and away between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
