Juventus give Stephan Lichtsteiner his comeback from the start in tonight’s big Champions League trip to Borussia Monchengladbach.

It kicks off at 19.45 GMT, follow the build-up and action as it happens on our LIVEBLOG.

The Bianconeri are still top of their Champions League group, but only barely following a surprise 0-0 home draw with Gladbach.

Max Allegri is still dealing with injuries to Roberto Pereyra and Sami Khedira, but Lichtsteiner returned to training this week a month after heart surgery on October 2.

Incredibly, the Swiss international is thrown straight back into the starting XI on his comeback.

There are other surprises, like Hernanes in what appears to be the trequartista role behind Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata, dropping Juan Cuadrado and Mario Mandzukic.

Paul Pogba got his mojo back at the weekend with a scorching strike in the 2-1 victory over city rivals Torino.

Borussia Monchengladbach are bottom of the Champions League group, but have really turned things around since Coach Andre Schubert took over.

At the weekend they demolished Hertha Berlin 4-1 away from home and flew up to fifth place in the Bundesliga.

The draw with Juve is the only stalemate in a run of six games in all competition, the rest all being victories.

There are injury issues, as BMG miss Andre Hahn, Patrick Hermann, Nico Schulz, Martin Stranzl and Tony Jantschke.

Juventus will wear their pink away strip this evening.

Borussia Moenchengladbach: Sommer; Nordveit, Christensen, Domínguez, Wendt; Traoré, Xhaka, Dahoud, Johnson; Raffael, Stindl
