Defenders De Sciglio, De Ligt, Cuadrado, Alex Sandro, Rugani
Midfielders Arthur, McKennie, Bernardeschi, Chiesa, Rabiot, Locatelli, Bentancur, Kulusevski

Forwards

Morata, Dybala, Kean

Juventus has plenty of problems in defence as Leonardo Bonucci misses out through injury while Giorgio Chiellini is isolating due to coronavirus.

Federico Chiesa is back in the squad, but there is no place for Kaio Jorge or Luca Pellegrini who both miss out through illness.

Alvaro Morata is expected to start up front despite reports linking him with a move to Barcelona.

Predicted Juventus starting XI: Szczesny; Cuadrado, Rugani, De Ligt, Sandro; Bentancur, Locatelli; Bernardeschi, Dybala, Kean; Morata.

PositionNapoli roster
Goalkeepers Ospina, Marfella, Idasiak
Defenders Di Lorenzo, Ghoulam, Jesus, Rrahmani, Zanoli, Costanzo, Spedalieri
Midfielders Demme, Elmas, Lobotka, Zielinski, Vergara
Forwards Insigne, Mertens, Petagna, Politano

Napoli has a long list of coronavirus absentees, with Hirving Lozano, Victor Osimhen, Alex Meret, Mario Rui and Kevin Malcuit all out.

The Africa Cup of Nations means Napoli will also have to plan without Kalidou Koulibaly and Andre-Frank Anguissa as well as Adam Ounas for the next few weeks.

Dries Mertens is set to start up front alongside Lorenzo Insigne, who is taking in a long farewell ahead of a move to Toronto FC as a free agent.

Predicted Napoli starting XI: Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Ghoulam; Demme, Lobotka; Politano, Zielinski, Insigne; Mertens.
