Gonzalo Higuain is set to get the nod over Paulo Dybala for Juventus against Joao Mario’s Lokomotiv Moscow in the Champions League tonight.

Maurizio Sarri is expected to stick with a 4-3-1-2 and Higuain, despite the striker failing to score against Bologna last time out and being replaced late on by Dybala.

Aaron Ramsey is still injured so Federico Bernardeschi will continue as Juve’s No 10 behind the front two.

Gonzalo Higuain is set to get the nod over Paulo Dybala for Juventus against Joao Mario’s Lokomotiv Moscow in the Champions League tonight.

Maurizio Sarri is expected to stick with a 4-3-1-2 and Higuain, despite the striker failing to score against Bologna last time out and being replaced late on by Dybala.

Aaron Ramsey is still injured so Federico Bernardeschi will continue as Juve’s No 10 behind the front two.

Wojciech Szczesny will return between the sticks, taking the place of Gianluigi Buffon, while Adrien Rabiot is set to make way for Blaise Matuidi in midfield.

Sarri’s side have won six straight games but come up against a Lokomotiv side who are top of the Russian Premier League.

The visitors have also been boosted by the arrival of Joao Mario, who has assisted four goals in his first eight appearances since arriving from Inter.

However, former Bianconeri defender Benedikt Howedes is considered doubtful for a homecoming this evening.

The match will be officiated by Greek referee Tasos Sidiropoulos.

Juventus (probable): Szczesny; Cuadrado, Bonucci, De Ligt, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi; Bernardeschi; Higuain, Ronaldo

Lokomotiv Moscow (probable): Guillerme; Ignatyev, Corluka, Howedes, Idowu; Barinov, Murilo, Krychowiak; Al. Miranchuk, Eder, Joao Mario

Referee: Sidiropoulous (GRE)
