Alessandro Del Piero returns to partner Alessandro Matri as Juventus welcome the thoroughly South American Catania.
The Bianconeri need a win to stay in the running for Europe, but are without the injured Giorgio Chiellini, Leandro Rinaudo, Momo Sissoko, Fabio Quagliarella, Vincenzo Iaquinta and ex-Catania player Jorge Martinez.
Del Piero returns to the starting XI alongside Matri, going back to the 4-4-2 system after experiments with the 4-3-3.
Catania have to do without Giuseppe Bellusci, Cristian Llama and Francesco Fabio Sciacca.
Alejandro Gomez, Adrian Ricchiuti and Mariano Izco fan out behind lone centre-forward Maxi Lopez, leaving Gonzalo Bergessio and Francesco Lodi on the bench.
