Andrea Pirlo’s men had a dismal end to 2020 with the shock 3-0 home defeat against old rivals Fiorentina, made worse by Juan Cuadrado’s red card, meaning he is suspended this evening.

So is Adrien Rabiot, because the Week 3 ‘win’ over Napoli was revoked on appeal, meaning it will have to be played and the ban was never completed.

Chiesa and Aaron Ramsey take the wide roles, with Danilo and Alex Sandro as full-backs.

Alvaro Morata is not even in the squad due to a muscular problem in training yesterday, so Dybala gets a rare start alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

Udinese have to make changes too, as Gerard Deulofeu, Stefano Okaka, Fernando Forestieri, Bram Nuytinck and Mato Jajalo are injured, plus Rodrigo Becao suspended in defence.

The star man is midfielder De Paul, who has been linked with moves to Juventus, Inter, Milan or Roma.
