The game can go ahead at the Juventus Stadium despite the heavy snowfall in Turin over the last few days.

Juve are runaway Serie A leaders with a seven-point lead, but were pegged back 0-0 by Udinese, so a victory is not to be taken for granted.

Milan have been struggling badly in 2015 and Coach Inzaghi was thought to be on the verge of dismissal before a 3-1 win over bottom club Parma.

It was reported that Inzaghi and Allegri had a very tense relationship at Milan, almost coming to blows at the training ground when Pippo was the youth team Coach.

Allegri has had the last laugh, as he was fired just over a year ago, but the Rossoneri have been through Clarence Seedorf and Inzaghi without finding success.

Pirlo has faced Milan many times now, but the decision to let him go as a free agent after a decade of service still stings.

Stephan Lichtsteiner is suspended with Alessandro Matri, Kwadwo Asamoah, Martin Caceres and Romulo injured.

Carlos Tevez was suffering from a mild fever yesterday, but is still in the starting XI with Alvaro Morata.

Milan could put together a whole other team from their absentee list, including new signing Mattia Destro and Philippe Mexes out on bans.

Clogging the treatment table are Stephan El Shaarawy, Nigel de Jong, Riccardo Montolivo, Ignazio Abate, Mattia De Sciglio, Cristian Zapata, Daniele Bonera and Hachim Mastour.

Giacomo Bonaventura had returned, but his shoulder pain flared up again at the last minute, so he moved to the bench in favour of Keisuke Honda.

Gabriel Paletta and Luca Antonelli are thrown straight into the starting XI just days after arriving from Parma and Genoa respectively.

Cristian Zaccardo also keeps his spot, having scored on his season debut last week.
