There are only two points separating these sides at the top of the Serie A table, as the Partenopei have the chance to break away and Juve the opportunity to be leaders for the first time this season.
They are both on stunning form, Juventus winning 14 in a row and Napoli eight – both all-time club records – and it looks as if the title race is between these two giants.
Max Allegri is without injured Giorgio Chiellini, Mario Mandzukic, Kwadwo Asamoah, Martin Caceres and Mario Lemina.
Stefano Sturaro had been expected to start, but Khedira has made a remarkably quick recovery from a muscular injury and is thrown straight into the line-up.
It could be a risk considering Khedira’s history of muscular problems and the upcoming Champions League games with Bayern Munich.
Juan Cuadrado completes the side with Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala, but have Juve returned to four at the back or will Stephan Lichtsteiner be in the three with Cuadrado and Patrice Evra coming back to support them?
Napoli have a full squad to choose from, as only Alberto Grassi is missing after an injury on his first training session.
Maurizio Sarri has made it very clear what his first choice XI is and they line up in Turin this evening with Lorenzo Insigne, Jose Callejon, Marek Hamsik and Jorginho, who returns from suspension.
Napoli will be wearing their red away strips in Turin this evening.
Napoli have only seven top flight victories in Turin, 20 stalemates and 42 defeats, in which they scored 65 goals and conceded 123.
The most recent Napoli Serie A win here was 3-2 on October 31 2009, followed by a 2-2 draw in May 2011 and four consecutive defeats.
