Last season, this was a showdown for the Scudetto and the Italian Supercup, but this match is overshadowed by the controversy over COVID-19 tests.

Ciro Immobile, Lucas Leiva and Thomas Strakosha are all isolating after tests in Lazio’s laboratory of choice found them negative, but a different lab in Rome – as well as the one used by UEFA – came up positive.

There is some good news for Simone Inzaghi, because Luis Alberto is back in the starting XI after he recovered from Coronavirus and Stefan Radu is back after a month out.

Manuel Lazzari and Djavan Anderson aren’t fully fit after their experience with the virus, while Senad Lulic and Gonzalo Escalante are injured.

With options limited, Joaquin Correa partners Vedat Muriqi upfront, with support from Luis Alberto and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Juventus are without Federico Chiesa, Giorgio Chiellini, Aaron Ramsey, Matthijs de Ligt and Alex Sandro, so Merih Demiral starts in defence.

Paulo Dybala is again benched in favour of the new partnership of Alvaro Morata and Cristiano Ronaldo, following a large midweek Champions League win at Ferencvaros.

Dejan Kulusevski would seem to be in the trequartista role he always said that he wanted, but has so rarely played in for Juve or Parma.
