Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri will look to Angel Di Maria and Arek Milik against Atalanta, in the first match after the Bianconeri’s 15-point deduction.

It kicks off at 19.45 GMT.

The Bianconeri are without the injured Leonardo Bonucci, Mattia De Sciglio, Paul Pogba, Dusan Vlahovic and Kaio Jorge. Juan Cuadrado is back and should start on the bench, while Adrien Rabiot is not fully fit.

Weston McKennie is favourite over Federico Chiesa on the right flank, while Di Maria and Milik are likely to start up front.

Atalanta, who are in the top four after Juventus’ points deduction, must cope without Duvan Zapata and Davide Zappacosta, while Teun Koopmeiners is injured.

La Dea have won just one of the last 25 games in Turin against Juventus, but it was the most recent one, played last season.

Either Mario Pasalic or Jeremie Boga will start behind the two centre forwardsm Rasmus Hojlund and Ademola Lookman.

Giorgio Scalvini is not fully fit, but still has a chance to start in a three-man defence in place of Luis Palomino.
