Juventus rest Cristiano Ronaldo, so Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain lead the way against Mario Balotelli’s Brescia, who are missing Sandro Tonali.
It kicks off in Turin at 14.00 GMT.
The pressure is on Maurizio Sarri to get this season on track quickly, as last week’s 2-1 defeat to Verona saw them caught at the top of the table by Inter, with Lazio only one point behind.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in his last 10 appearances for Juve, but has been given a well-earned rest this weekend, just days after the Coppa Italia semi-final draw with Milan.
Douglas Costa, Federico Bernardeschi, Sami Khedira and Merih Demiral are injured, so Juan Cuadrado is again used as part of the trident attack with Dybala and Higuain.
Aaron Ramsey is once more moved to his preferred midfield role, with Miralem Pjanic, Blaise Matuidi and Matthijs de Ligt also given the day off.
The big news is that Giorgio Chiellini sits on the bench for the first time since rupturing his ACL five months ago.
Brescia wish they had the option to rest star names, but instead are forced into changes.
New coach Diego Lopez made the trip without injured Sandro Tonali, Jesse Joronen, Ernesto Torregrossa, Andrea Cistana, Romulo and Daniele Gastaldello.
It means Birkir Bjarnason gets a rare start in midfield, with Jaromir Zmrhal preferred to Nicolas Spalek in the trequartista slot behind Florian Aye and Balotelli.
Juventus: Szczesny; Danilo, Rugani, Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Ramsey, Bentancur, Rabiot; Cuadrado, Higuain, Dybala
Brescia: Alfonso; Sabelli, Mateju, Chancellor, Martella; Bisoli, Dessena, Bjarnason; Zmrhal; Aye, Balotelli
