Juve need a victory to keep their eight-point advantage over Roma, otherwise the title race could be re-opened in a dramatic final month.
Andrea Barzagli and Simone Pepe are still injured, while Arturo Vidal is on the bench after complaining of pain in his knee.
Carlos Tevez is rested in favour of Giovinco, who impressed in recent substitute appearances, alongside Llorente.
Angelo Ogbonna also gives Leonardo Bonucci the chance to catch his breath.
Udinese have secured their Serie A safety and can therefore play without pressure, especially as captain Di Natale is back from injury.
They look a different team with him leading the way and the veteran hitman is supported by Bruno Fernandes.
Andrea Lazzari is sidelined and Emmanuel Badu banned, so Hasan Yebda steps into midfield.
There is another battle on the field, as Udinese’s 17-year-old goalkeeper Simone Scuffet has been tipped to be the heir to Gigi Buffon for Italy.
Udinese: Scuffet; Heurtaux, Danilo, Domizzi; Basta, Yebda, Allan, Pereyra, Gabriel Silva; Bruno Fernandes; Di Natale
Juventus: Buffon; Caceres, Ogbonna, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah; Llorente, Giovinco
