Dusan Vlahovic and Arek Milik are expected to start in the Juventus‘ attack against Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s Napoli in Sunday’s big game in Serie A.

It kicks off at 19:45 UK time.

The Bianconeri are without the injured Moise Kean, while Gleison Bremer is not fully fit but should be able to start.

No team has earned more points than Juventus at home in Serie A this season (36), while Napoli have the best away record this term with 40 points in 15 matches.

Vlahovic, who scored his last Serie A goal on February 7 against Salernitana, is expected to start up front alongside ex-Napoli forward Milik. One of the doubts for Max Allegri is whether to start Federico Gatti or Alex Sandro in a three-man defence, while Juan Cuadrado is favourite over Mattia De Sciglio on the right flank.

Napoli must cope without the injured Mario Rui, Matteo Politano and Giovanni Simeone. Amir Rrahmani has joined the team in Turin but should be replaced by Juan Jesus in central defence, while Kim and André Zambo Anguissa return after a one-match ban in the Champions League.

The Partenopei can move 17 points clear of second-placed Lazio who suffered a 1-0 loss against Torino on Saturday.
