Juventus are still struggling to find consistency and this evening visit on-form Sassuolo, including Domenico Berardi.
 
 
The Bianconeri have flattered to deceive so far this season, ending a run of two consecutive draws in all competition with a 2-0 win over Atalanta.
 
Paulo Dybala was on target and is again in the starting XI after controversy over Max Allegri’s decision to bench him.
 
Juan Guillermo Cuadrado and Andrea Barzagli return after being rested, while Stephan Lichtsteiner, Martin Caceres, Roberto Pereyra and Kwadwo Asamoah are unavailable.
 
Claudio Marchisio pulled out with flu symptoms and is not even on the bench, so Mario Lemina steps in.
 
Simone Zaza returns to the Mapei Stadium to face his former club, but will only do so as a substitute.
 
Juve had an option on Zaza which they activated over the summer and there’s a similar situation in place for current Sassuolo star Berardi.
 
Some even suggest he could make the step up to Turin in January, fending off interest from the likes of Liverpool and Barcelona.
 
The 21-year-old will be particularly eager to impress his future employers, but goalkeeper Andrea Consigli is suspended and Luca Antei injured.
 
Sassuolo have never beaten Juventus, managing only a 1-1 draw in October last year from four meetings.
 
Sassuolo: Pegolo; Vrsaljko, Cannavaro, Acerbi, Peluso; Missiroli, Magnanelli, Biondini; Berardi, Floccari, Sansone
 
Juventus: Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro, Sturaro, Lemina, Pogba, Cuadrado, Mandzukic, Dybala
