There is only one point separating the teams going in, although Juve also have a game in hand to be played against Napoli.

The Bianconeri restored their confidence and beat Inter 2-1 in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final, with the decider on Tuesday evening.

Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended, with Paulo Dybala injured, so Morata partners Ronaldo the day after the Portugal international turned 36.

Chiesa and Alex Sandro take the wide roles, with Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci in defence.

Roma have been grinding out results despite the off the field row between coach Paulo Fonseca and hitman Edin Dzeko.

The Bosnian returned to the squad this week, albeit stripped of the captain’s armband, and is initially left on the bench.

Lorenzo Pellegrini is suspended, with Chris Smalling, Pedro and Nicolò Zaniolo injured, so Bryan Cristante takes over in midfield and as captain behind Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Borja Mayoral.

Juventus: Szczesny; Danilo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; McKennie, Arthur, Rabiot, Chiesa; Morata, Ronaldo

Roma: Pau Lopez; Mancini, Ibanez, Kumbulla; Karsdorp, Villar, Cristante, Veretout, Spinazzola; Mkhitaryan, Borja Mayoral
