Juventus start Dusan Vlahovic and teenage sensation Kenan Yildiz for this trip to Pippo Inzaghi’s Salernitana, who have Antonio Candreva back.

It kicks off at the Stadio Arechi at 17.00 GMT.

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

By a strange quirk of the fixture list, these teams already met in Turin on Thursday for the Coppa Italia Round of 16 and Juve ran out 6-1 winners.

Federico Chiesa sprained his knee and therefore misses this trip along with Moise Kean, Andrea Cambiaso, Alex Sandro and Mattia De Sciglio.

Manuel Locatelli is suspended, with Paul Pogba and Nicolò Fagioli.

Yildiz therefore gets another chance to shine, having scored a spectacular goal in that Coppa Italia tie with a double nutmeg.

Hans Nicolussi Caviglia plays in midfield against his former club.

Salernitana at least stopped the rot in Serie A with four points from their last two games, holding Milan 2-2 and winning 1-0 away to Verona.

Boulaye Dia, Lassana Coulibaly and Jovane are at the Africa Cup of Nations, with Lorenzo Pirola, Emil Bohinen and ex-Juve man Grigoris Kastanos injured.

The good news for Pippo Inzaghi is the return of Candreva, while Guillermo Ochoa is finally fit again for a spot on the bench.

Nwankwo Simy gets the nod upfront rather than Chukwubuikem Ikwuemesi.

Salernitana: Costil; Daniliuc, Gyomber, Fazio, Bradaric; Legowski, Sambia, Maggiore; Tchaouna, Candreva; Simy

Juventus: Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Weah, McKennie, Nicolussi Caviglia, Rabiot, Kostic; Vlahovic, Yildiz
