The pressure is growing on Max Allegri after two consecutive Champions League defeats to Atletico Madrid and Olympiacos, plus a 1-1 Serie A draw at Sassuolo.
Roma’s 0-0 result at Sampdoria last night put them joint top on 19 points, so a victory would allow Juve to open up a three-point lead.
Romulo is back in the squad, albeit not ready to start, while Andrea Barzagli, Martin Caceres, Patrice Evra and the suspended Simone Padoin miss out.
Despite an impressive performance in Athens on Wednesday, Alvaro Morata is sent back to the bench in favour of Fernando Llorente, who is yet to score this season.
Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal both start in midfield, even though they seemed decidedly out of shape against Olympiacos.
Roberto Pereyra steps in for the rested Stephan Lichtsteiner and Paul Pogba.
Palermo are climbing the table following their first win of the season, a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Cesena, but have conceded a whopping 15 goals in seven games.
Paulo Dybala has been linked with a move to Juventus on and off, while Franco Vazquez and Italy Under-21 starlet Andrea Belotti are also impressive in attack.
Costa Rica international Giancarlo ‘Pipo’ Gonzalez scored on his Serie A debut last week and is a danger in the air.
Palermo held Napoli to a spectacular 3-3 draw this season and have a remarkably good record in Turin, winning three consecutive visits between 2009 and 2011.
They lost the last two attempts, but there hasn’t been a stalemate in this fixture for almost a decade.
