Juventus is back on track with Danilo and youth player Jonas Rouhi in defence, but Dusan Vlahovic’s goal drought is a problem against troubled Genoa behind closed doors.

The match starts at 5pm UK time (4pm GMT) at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

You can follow all the build-up and action of this match, Udinese-Inter and Bologna-Atalanta, on the LIVEBLOG.

There were issues before kick-off with a fire in Marassi’s VAR stand, so it is possible that the On-Field Review technology will not be available, although they will still be able to stay in touch with the referee.

The match will be played behind closed doors as an emergency order from local authorities following the violent clashes that marred the Coppa Italia defeat on penalties in midweek.

It was the latest in a tough run for the Grifone, who managed to take one point from three games in Serie A and injuries piled up.

Ruslan Malinovskyi is out for the season with a broken ankle, while Junior Messias, Brooke Norton-Cuffy and Caleb Ekuban are still sidelined.

Fabio Miretti missed a penalty in the midweek shootout and he starts here against his parent club together with 16-year-old Honest Ahanor.

Juventus defeated PSV Eindhoven 3-1 in the Champions League, but has now drawn 0-0 three times in a row in Serie A against Roma, Empoli and Napoli.

They are yet to concede a goal in the top flight this season, but goals have been difficult to come by despite using Dusan Vlahovic, Nico Gonzalez, Teun Koopmeiners and Kenan Yildiz together.

Douglas Luiz falls to the bench again, this time in favor of Nicolò Fagioli, while Tim Weah and Arkadiusz Milik are injured, but the surprises lie in defense.

Federico Gatti is not yet at 100 percent, so Pierre Kalulu moves to the centre, while Danilo gets his first start at right back.

Thiago Motta pulls off another surprise by taking 20-year-old Rouhi as left-back from the Next Gen team for his first senior start.

Michele Di Gregorio is also rested in goal, leaving Mattia Perin facing his old club.
