Paulo Dybala and Cristiano Ronaldo should be back together for Juventus against Genoa tonight, but Matthijs de Ligt risks losing his place at the back.
Coach Maurizio Sarri will most likely stay true to his 4-3-1-2 formation of late, as he pointed out that the absence of Gonzalo Higuain would make it “unlikely we can make a 4-3-3 work” at a Press conference yesterday.

Merih Demiral might get his second start in the heart of the defence next to Leonardo Bonucci, sending De Ligt to the bench.
Rodrigo Bentancur pulled through the draw with Lecce at the weekend and is set to keep his place as Sarri won’t sacrifice Miralem Pjanic after an injury scare.
As for Genoa, they seem ready to line up in a 4-3-2-1 but will be without Danish midfielder Lukas Lerager in Turin.
Domenico Criscito and Stefano Sturaro will not get the chance to prove themselves against their old club as they are not available to play.
Juventus need three points to get back to the top in Serie A, whereas the Rossoblu are fighting to get out of trouble at the other end.
Juventus (probable): Buffon; Cuadrado, Bonucci, Demiral, Alex Sandro; Khedira, Bentancur, Matuidi; Bernardeschi; Dybala, Ronaldo
Genoa (probable): Radu; Biraschi, Romero, Zapata, Ankersen; Schone, Radovanovic; Pandev, Agudelo, Kouame; Pinamonti
