The Bianconeri started 2019 with their first trophy of the season, beating Milan 1-0 in Jeddah for the Supercoppa on Wednesday.
With that in mind, Max Allegri rests Wojciech Szczesny, Leonardo Bonucci and Sami Khedira, while Miralem Pjanic is suspended, with Mario Mandzukic, Juan Cuadrado, Andrea Barzagli and Medhi Benatia injured.
It means Douglas Costa and Federico Bernardeschi are the wingers in a very attack-minded 4-3-3 formation, with Paulo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo upfront.
In a disconcerting statistic, Ronaldo has scored as many goals this season as the entire Chievo squad put together: 14.
Chievo are fresh from their first win of the season and if it weren’t for the three-point penalty for financial irregularities, they would be in front of Frosinone.
Mimmo Di Carlo has brought some stability as their third Coach of the campaign after Lorenzo D’Anna and Giampiero Ventura, largely thanks to his reliance on the experienced Giaccherini and Pellissier.
Joel Obi is the only injury absentee and it’s worth noting the Flying Donkeys have lost only one of the last eight games, 2-0 to Sampdoria on December 26.
They’ve already held Napoli, Lazio and Inter to stalemates during that spell, so it might not be the walkover many would assume.
On the other hand, Chievo have lost 12 of their last 13 Serie A meetings with Juventus, drawing 1-1 in September 2015.
