The Bianconeri have a huge opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table, because Inter were held to a 1-1 draw by Lecce this afternoon, their second stalemate in a row.
Rodrigo Bentancur is still suspended after his Supercoppa Italiana dismissal, with Merih Demiral, Mattia De Sciglio, Giorgio Chiellini and Sami Khedira injured.
As Parma are not a team who particularly care about possession and try instead to clam up to go on the counter, it was believed Maurizio Sarri would revive the all-star trident attack of Ronaldo, Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain.
CR7 was rested for the midweek 4-0 Coppa Italia victory over Udinese as he had sinusitis, but Dybala and Higuain combined to score a sensational goal that went viral all over the world.
Instead, it’s Higuain who sits on the bench and Aaron Ramsey as the trequartista.
Cristiano Ronaldo has found the net in eight out of nine Serie A home games this season, more than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues.
Matthijs de Ligt is also back alongside Leonardo Bonucci after losing his place to Demiral for over a month.
Parma are very motivated too, as they reached the half-way stage of the season in seventh place, well in the rush for European qualification.
Gervinho has joined Alberto Grassi and Yann Karamoh on the injury list, so Roberto Inglese is flanked by Juraj Kucka and Kulusevski.
It’s a special game for Kulusevski, who has already been sold to Juventus for €35m plus up to €9m in bonuses by Atalanta, but remains on loan at Parma for the rest of the season.
Juventus will wear black armbands for Pietro Anastasi and a video will be played before kick-off marking the death of the two-times Scudetto winner and Serie A Capocannoniere.
