The Bianconeri had a tumultuous week, as Ronaldo was first left on the bench for a 2-2 draw against Udinese, then agreed his transfer to Manchester United.

Time is short to find a replacement on the transfer market, but for now Max Allegri is opting for a lightweight attack with Dybala, Chiesa and McKennie, leaving Alvaro Morata on the bench.

Aaron Ramsey is out for at least three weeks, joining Kaio Jorge and Arthur on the treatment table, so Danilo steps in as a makeshift midfielder.

Empoli had taken the lead against Lazio last week before capitulating 3-1 under new coach Aurelio Andreazzoli.

Some new signings have arrived, including Andrea Pinamonti on loan from Inter, but Patrick Cutrone leads the way this evening alongside Leonardo Mancuso.

Juventus: Szczesny; Cuadrado, Bonucci, De Ligt, Alex Sandro; Bentancur, Danilo, Rabiot; Chiesa, Dybala, McKennie

Empoli: Vicario; Stojanovic, Ismajli, Luperto, Marchizza; Haas, S Ricci; Bandinelli, Bajrami, Mancuso; Cutrone
