Max Allegri showed already in the 2-0 win over Lazio that he is not afraid to shake things up with his star-studded squad and that means leaving La Joya on the bench.

According to the latest reports, Dybala could again be on the touchline with Douglas Costa, starting Federico Bernardeschi in a trident attack with Mandzukic, putting Ronaldo wide on the left.

Joao Cancelo should get the nod at right-back rather than Juan Cuadrado, with Sami Khedira preferred to Emre Can in midfield.

Parma have many injury absentees, missing the likes of Alberto Grassi, Amato Ciciretti, Jonathan Biabiany and suspended Emanuele Calaiò.

Former Roma winger Gervinho is fit to start after his substitute appearance last week, combining with Roberto Inglese and Antonio Di Gaudio.

Probable line-ups

Parma: Sepe; Iacoponi, Bruno Alves, Gagliolo, Gobbi; Rigoni, Stulac, Barillà; Gervinho, Inglese, Di Gaudio

Juventus: Szczesny; Cancelo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi; Bernardeschi, Mandzukic, Cristiano Ronaldo
