The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away!
Juventus have gained a point from their last two Serie A home games – they last went three without a victory at the start of the 2015-16 season, also under Allegri.
Roberto D’Aversa makes just three changes from the loss to Napoli on Thursday as he brings in Murru, Depaoli and Ekdal. Augello, Silva and Damsgaard are named on the bench.
Massimiliano Allegri makes six changes to the side that beat Spezia last time out. Perin starts in goal, with Cuadrado, Alex Sandro, Locatelli, Bernardeschi and Morata also coming in. Szczesny, Danilo De Sciglio, McKennie and Kean drop to the bench, while Adrien Rabiot misses out with an ankle knock.
SAMPDORIA SUBS: Kristoffer Askildsen, Simone Trimboli, Adrien Silva, Tommaso Augello, Julian Chabot, Nicola Ravaglia, Radu Dragusin, Alex Ferrari, Wladimiro Falcone, Ernesto Torregrossa, Mikkel Damsgaard, Riccardo Ciervo.
SAMPDORIA STARTING XI (4-4-2): Emil Audero; Bartosz Bereszynski, Maya Yoshida, Omar Colley, Nicola Murru; Fabio Depaoli, Morten Thorsby, Albini Ekdal, Antonio Candreva; Francesco Caputo, Fabio Quagliarella.
JUVENTUS SUBS: Aaron Ramsey, Luca Pellegrini, Dejan Kulusevski, Weston McKennie, Wojciech Szczesny, Daniele Rugani, Moise Kean, Giorgio Chiellini, Danilo, Mattia De Sciglio, Carlo Pinsoglio.
JUVENTUS STARTING XI (4-4-2): Mattia Perin; Juan Cuadrado, Leanardo Bonucci, Matthjis de Ligt, Alex Sandro; Federico Chiesa, Manuel Locatelli, Rodrigo Bentancur, Federico Bernardeschi; Paulo Dybala, Alvaro Morata.
Juventus finally won their first Serie A game of the season last time out against Spezia, coming from behind to earn the victory in the second half. They’re now unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions (W2 D1), as they look to turn their form around after a poor start to the season. Sampdoria’s first win in the league came last weekend when they beat Empoli 3-0, but that was followed up by a 4-0 thrashing by Napoli on Thursday, which ended their own three-match unbeaten run.
