Atalanta boss Stefano Colantuono does not have any injuries worries ahead of the crunch clash but Stefano Lucchini and Carlos Carmona are both suspended and will miss Saturday's festivities.
Juve coach Antonio Conte will likely be without the services of Eljero Elia who sustained an ankle injury in training earlier in the week, while Fabio Quagliarella is still struggling with a cheekbone problem.

The Argentine striker leads the team with 12 goals and is joint second in scoring in Serie A so far this season. The 30-year-old has failed to find the back of the net in the last two games, though, and will need to remedy that situation if the home side are to spring a surprise on the league leaders.

The midfield metronome has kept things ticking in the middle of the park for Juve this season and has become an integral part of Antonio Conte’s squad. He will need to direct traffic in midfield as the Bianconeri look to extend their impressive unbeaten run.
