Juventus play their first match since the 15-point penalty and they use Angel Di Maria and Arkadiusz Milik against goal machine Atalanta’s Rasmus Hojlund and Ademola Lookman.

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 19.45 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Spezia-Roma on the LIVEBLOG.

The Bianconeri are in turmoil after a traumatic week, which saw them first lose 5-1 to Scudetto rivals Napoli, then see any remaining title hopes destroyed by a 15-point penalty for artificially inflating transfer fees to boost capital gains.

This could well only be the beginning for the issues raised by the Prisma investigation and leaves an air of great uncertainty over the club.

Max Allegri has to keep his squad focused, still missing injured Dusan Vlahovic, Paul Pogba, Leonardo Bonucci, Mattia De Sciglio and Kaio Jorge, while Juan Cuadrado returns to the bench.

Di Maria supports Milik with Adrien Rabiot back after a muscular issue and Federico Chiesa ready to come on in the second half after scoring in the midweek Coppa Italia victory over Monza.

Atalanta have found their form in 2023, crushing Salernitana 8-2 last week in Serie A and Spezia 5-2 in the Coppa Italia.

Duvan Zapata and Davide Zappacosta are out injured, with Teun Koopmeiners suspended, so Hojlund and Lookman lead the attack with Ederson stepping into the midfield.

Jeremie Boga is picked rather than Mario Pasalic for greater pace.

Juventus: Szczesny; Danilo, Bremer, Alex Sandro; McKennie, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Di Maria; Milik

Atalanta: Musso; Toloi, Palomino, Scalvini; Hateboer, De Roon, Ederson, Maehle; Boga; Lookman, Hojlund
