Alvaro Morata is likely to start against Zenit tonight, while Matthijs de Ligt will partner Leonardo Bonucci in defence.

The Serie A giants visit the St. Petersburg Stadium after collecting two wins from two in the Champions League.

Morata has recovered from a muscle injury and made his return to action on Sunday in Juventus‘ 1-0 win over Roma.

Federico Chiesa and Federico Bernardeschi will join the former Real Madrid striker in the Bianconeri’s attack.

De Ligt has also recovered from slight muscle fatigue and will start along with Bonucci in the heart of Juventus’ defence.

Weston McKennie could start with Rodrigo Bentancur and Manuel Locatelli in the middle of the park.

Paulo Dybala and Adrien Rabiot are still out of action. The Argentinean striker is expected to be available on Sunday when Juventus face Inter at San Siro.

Rabiot tested positive for COVID during the October break.

  1. I wanna see more of Kaio Jorge. Hopefully, he’s getting some minutes. UCL group stage is not as crucial as Serie A right now.
