The Bianconeri seem to have found their form in recent weeks and are marching up the table, despite missing Giorgio Chiellini, Merih Demiral and Arthur Melo.
Of course, that was before today’s ruling that the Week 3 game with Napoli must be played, so they dropped from 27 points to 24, now equal with the Partenopei.
Paulo Dybala is back after a minor injury, albeit on the bench, as Morata and Ronaldo have forged an exceptional partnership.
It’s a special game for Chiesa, who grew up in the Fiorentina youth academy and left on transfer deadline day to join their bitter rivals Juventus.
The ending to his time there was a bitter one, with President Rocco Commisso and the fans frustrated at his determination to force the move through.
Chiesa starts with Weston McKennie increasingly decisive in the midfield and Aaron Ramsey on the other flank.
Adrien Rabiot is not even on the bench amid concerns about a ban.
Fiorentina are in crisis and back-to-back 1-1 draws with Sassuolo and Bologna have only done so much to calm the waters around coach Cesare Prandelli.
The main problem is goals, because they have scored three goals in their last eight Serie A matches and the most recent two were both Dusan Vlahovic penalties.
The last goal scored from open play was by Nikola Milenkovic deep into stoppages for their 1-1 draw with Genoa on December 7.
Ribery again supports Vlahovic, with Gaetano Castrovilli, Borja Valero and Sofyan Amrabat in midfield.
It’s a very defensive 5-3-2 formation, including ex-Juve player Martin Caceres.
Juventus: Szczesny; Cuadrado, De Ligt, Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Chiesa, McKennie, Bentancur, Ramsey; Morata, Ronaldo
Juventus bench: Pinsoglio, Buffon, Dybala, Danilo, Bernardeschi, Da Graca, Dragusin, Frabotta, Portanova, Kulusevski
