How Juventus could line up against Empoli

Ahead of Saturday's Serie A clash between Empoli and Juventus, Sports Mole looks at how the Italian champions could line up at Stadio Carlo Castellani.

Juventus make the trip to face Empoli at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on Saturday evening looking to return to winning ways in Serie A.

Massimiliano Allegri's team had won 10 matches in a row in all competitions until Genoa were able to hold the Italian giants to a 1-1 draw in Turin last weekend.

However, Juventus responded with a 1-0 victory against Manchester United in the Champions League thanks to a goal from Paulo Dybala.

Allegri could make changes for the meeting with Empoli, and here Sports Mole looks at how his side could line up this weekend.



JUVXI V EMP

Out: Emre Can (thyroid), Sami Khedira (thigh)
Doubtful: Mario Mandzukic (ankle)

Emre Can and Sami Khedira will both remain on the sidelines for Saturday's game, although the latter is expected to return at the start of next month.

Mario Mandzukic could feature on the substitutes' bench should he shake off an ankle injury, but Dybala may still drop down to the bench with Douglas Costa coming into the side.

Federico Bernardeschi is also in contention for a starting role, but Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to remain in the starting lineup having contributed at least a goal or assist in his last six league outings.

Giorgio Chiellini could be afforded a rest, with Mehdi Benatia a possible inclusion in the centre of defence.
