Juventus give youth team player Fabio Miretti his first start, as the injury crisis continues to take hold against a Venezia side debuting under new management.

It kicks off at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin at 11.30 UK time (10.30 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s five Serie A games on the LIVEBLOG.

The Bianconeri would practically secure their Champions League qualification with a victory and keep themselves within a point of third-placed Napoli, who beat Sassuolo 6-1 yesterday.

The injury crisis continues, ruling out Mattia De Sciglio, Juan Cuadrado, Manuel Locatelli, Federico Chiesa, Weston McKennie and Kaio Jorge.

Max Allegri therefore breaks with tradition and gives 18-year-old Fabio Miretti his first start, having made three stoppage-time cameos this season between Serie A and the Champions League.

Leonardo Bonucci starts on his 35th birthday with Federico Bernardeschi supporting Dusan Vlahovic and Alvaro Morata, leaving Paulo Dybala on the bench.

Venezia are rock bottom of Serie A with a game in hand against Salernitana, to be played next week, and sacked coach Paolo Zanetti after eight consecutive defeats.

Instead, youth team tactician and former striker Andrea Soncin has been promoted to the main job.

Sergio Romero, Tyronne Ebuehi, Marco Modolo and Luca Lezzerini are still out of action.

Mattia Aramu joins Thomas Henry upfront, while Ridgeciano Haps and Sofian Kiyine return from suspension.

Juventus: Szczesny; Danilo, Bonucci, De Ligt, Pellegrini; Bernardeschi, Zakaria, Miretti, Rabiot; Vlahovic, Morata

Venezia: Maenpaa; Mateju, Caldara, Ceccaroni, Haps; Crnigoj, Ampadu, Cuisance; Aramu, Vacca; Henry

One thought on “Serie A line-ups: Juventus vs. Venezia”
  1. Leaves Dybala on the bench at home, so he can’t wear the captains band ever again at home. Next home game against Lazio, will be Dybala and Chellini’s last home game, which means Chellini wears the band.

    One of the most petty management teams in the world. Treated Del Piero like crap and followed that up with Dybala.
