What is the team news?

There are defensive issues for Juve going into this one, with both Mattia De Sciglio and Alex Sandro on the treatment table.

Usually Danilo would fill in at left-back, but the Brazilian is suspended after picking up a needless red card against Bologna.

Aaron Ramsey could feature in midfield, while Gonzalo Higuain and Merih Demiral are both confirmed out.

Lecce have a packed injury list, with Gianluca Lapadula facing a late fitness test.

Should he fail it, he’ll join Diego Farias, Alessandro Deiola, Antonin Barak and Cristian Dell’Orco on the sidelines.

Manager’s view

Maurizio Sarri: “Our physical condition isn’t the best and we’ll play several matches close together.

“We must approach the game in the right way, without being sloppy or presumptuous.

“Lecce have done better away than at home, so we must have the maximum respect for them.”

Match odds

  • Juventus to win – 2/13
  • Draw – 13/2
  • Lecce surprise victory – 20/1
  • Both teams to score – evens
