Juventus could pick Simone Padoin at right-back and welcome Arturo Vidal back, while Milan may debut their winter signings.

The Bianconeri are without Stephan Lichtsteiner through suspension and Martin Caceres through injury, so are expected to run Padoin at full-back for tomorrow’s clash at Juventus Stadium.

Arturo Vidal is at his first game after recovering from a knee injury, but La Gazzetta dello Sport, Sky Sports and Sport Mediaset all expect him to start.

Carlos Tevez was reported today to have a fever, but should make it on to the pitch, to be flanked by Alvaro Morata. Otherwise, Fernando Llorente may replace him.

Rossonero Coach Filippo Inzaghi, also struck with flu for the day, has to deal with the injuries of Riccardo Montolivo and Nigel de Jong, which compel a midfield trio of Andrea Poli, Sulley Muntari and Michael Essien.

In defence, new signings Gabriel Paletta and Luca Antonelli are expected to be given their debut, while Alessio Cerci fights for a place against Keisuke Honda, each favoured respectively by the Gazzetta and by Sports Mediaset.

Probable line-ups

Juventus: Buffon; Padoin, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra; Marchisio, Pirlo, Pogba; Vidal; Tevez, Morata

Milan: D. Lopez; Rami, Paletta, Alex, Antonelli; Poli, Essien, Muntari; Cerci, Menez, Bonaventura
