Lazio have not beaten the Bianconeri – home or away – in their last 19 League meetings, going back to December 2003.
The last nine visits to the Olimpico have seen them pick up just three draws.
Juve go into this game without Andrea Barzagli, Angelo Ogbonna, Patrice Evra, Martin Caceres, Kwadwo Asamoah and Luca Marrone.
Pirlo returns to the starting XI with Roberto Pereyra in a trequartista role, as Max Allegri sticks with his new Christmas Tree system.
Lazio are without Michael Ciani, Stefano Mauri, Bruno Pereirinha, Diego Novaretti and Santiago Gentiletti.
Talented teenager Keita Balde Diao has recovered from injury – and a car crash – to start with Miroslav Klose and Antonio Candreva.
Lazio: Marchetti; Basta, De Vrij, Cana, Braafheid; Parolo, Biglia, Lulic; Candreva, Klose, Keita
