Juventus have a lot of young players in the starting XI for their prestigious friendly test against Arsenal, with barely any veterans at all.

It kicks off at the Emirates Stadium in London at 18.00 GMT.

The Bianconeri are missing numerous star names, as Angel Di Maria, Leandro Paredes and Adrien Rabiot are still at the World Cup, while Alex Sandro, Dusan Vlahovic and Filip Kostic only just left.

Paul Pogba, Federico Chiesa, Mattia De Sciglio, Samuel Iling-Junior and Kaio Jorge are all on the treatment table.

Juve are not back on the field for a competitive match until Serie A resumes with a trip to Cremonese on January 4.

Arsenal, on the other hand, are at a far more advanced stage of training, with their Premier League commitments already from December 26 against West Ham United, then Brighton and Hove Albion on December 31 and Newcastle United on January 3.

Juventus: Perin; Rugani, Gatti, Riccio; Barbieri, Fagioli, Locatelli, Barrenechea, SoulΓ©; Miretti, Kean

Arsenal: Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Partey; Nelson, Odegaard, Vieira; Nketiah

  1. Ttpical Italian club. Have no problems stocking up on Argies. Will play them at Age 17 but Italian players can break through until they are 29.
