Juventus vs. Roma predicted lineups
Allegri is still battling against a growing injury list in Turin with summer signing Paul Pogba sidelined with a long-term issue. Angel Di Maria is not expected to be fit for this weekend and Leonardo Bonucci is a doubt, but Wojciech Szczesny is back.
Mattia De Sciglio could return to the starting lineup, while Allegri confirmed he is considering throwing new signing Arkadiusz Milik straight into the first XI.
Juventus predicted lineup (4-3-3): Szczesny (GK) — Sandro, Bremer, Rugani, De Sciglio — Rabiot, Locatelli, McKennie — Kostic, Vlahovic, Cuadrado
Mourinho has fewer injuries to contend with this weekend but Georginio Wijnaldum and Nicolo Zaniolo are both out of action for the visitors.
However, the experienced head coach could also reshuffle his options, with Nemanja Matic and Nicola Zalewski set to come back into the fold. Paulo Dybala is set to start against his old club.
Roma predicted lineup (3-4-3): Patricio (GK) — Ibanez, Smalling, Mancini — Spinazzola, Cristante, Matic, Pellegrini — Zalewski, Abraham, Dybala
