Juve have won 12 Serie A games in a row, matching the club record set by Antonio Conte, so another tonight would make history.

There are injury problems to deal with, as Mario Mandzukic, Sami Khedira and Kwadwo Asamoah are expected to be out for two to three weeks with muscular injuries.

Giorgio Chiellini is also rested, but Mario Lemina returns to the bench after a lengthy absence.

Alvaro Morata leads the attack, having ended his 20-game drought with four goals in his last two competitive outings, but there’s no rest for Paulo Dybala.

Stefano Sturaro is also not 100 per cent fit, so Simone Padoin gets a rare nod.

Genoa have completely revamped over the January transfer window, bringing in the likes of Suso, Alessio Cerci, Tim Matavz and Gabriel Silva – the latter getting his debut tonight.

Leonardo Pavoletti is the focal point of Gian Piero Gasperini’s 3-4-3 formation, with Oliver Ntcham and Cristian Ansaldi encouraged to bomb forward.

Genoa have only ever won two of their 48 Serie A trips to Juventus, drawing nine and losing 37.

The most recent success in Turin was 1-0 back in January 1991, while the Grifone won just one of their last 13 meetings with the Bianconeri, home and away in all competition.

Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Caceres; Cuadrado, Padoin, Marchisio, Pogba, Evra; Morata, Dybala

Genoa: Perin; Munoz, De Maio, Izzo; Ansaldi, Rigoni, Dzemaili, Ntcham; Gabriel Silva, Pavoletti, Cerci
