Juventus will be looking to keep up the heat on league leaders Inter with a strong showing away to Monza.
The match between the Biancorossi and the Bianconeri kicks off at 19.45 UK time at the Stadio Brianteo in Monza.
Monza have shown a number of positives in the first few months of the season, securing wins over Hellas Verona, Salernitana, Sassuolo and Empoli. They have struggled against the top clubs, losing to Inter, Atalanta and Roma.
Raffaele Palladino’s side are without Armando Izzo, Samuele Vignato and Gianluca Caprari, all sidelined with injuries, and the suspended Alejandro ‘Papu’ Gomez.
Juventus have looked to be a team on a mission this term, only losing once in their first 13 matches. Massimiliano Allegri’s squad sit two points behind league leaders Inter and can temporarily take the top spot with a win, putting pressure on the Nerazzurri ahead of their clash with Napoli.
The Old Lady cannot count on the injured Timothy Weah and Mattia De Sciglio, nor the suspended Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli.

Monza (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; D’Ambrosio, Pablo Mari, Caldirola; Ciurria, Gagliardini, Pessina, Kyriakopoulos; Colpani, Mota Carvalho; Colombo.
