The Bianconeri had a disastrous start to the season, but begin 2016 back among the Scudetto favourites thanks to a remarkable march up the table.

They are looking for an eighth win on the bounce here and Max Allegri’s touchline histrionics should ensure there’s no complacency after a squeezed 3-2 at Carpi before Christmas.

Andrea Barzagli, Roberto Pereyra and Mario Lemina are sidelined, but Mario Mandzukic and Leonardo Bonucci have recovered from slight issues.

Martin Caceres is given the nod in the back three rather than Daniele Rugani.

Hellas are bottom of the standings and incredibly still without a single victory this season, despite a change of management.

This is Gigi Del Neri’s first time back in Turin since he was sacked by Juventus in 2011, having finished seventh in Serie A with early Coppa Italia and Europa League exits.

While Verona are no doubt in serious trouble, there has been an upswing recently with two consecutive 1-1 draws against Milan and Sassuolo.

Jacopo Sala sits out a ban with Michelangelo Albertazzi and ex-Juve winger Romulo sidelined.

The heavy blow is that start striker Luca Toni pulled out this morning with a calf injury and has already left Turin.

Juventus: Buffon; Caceres, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba, Alex Sandro; Dybala, Morata
