Juventus make six changes of their own as Max Allegri looks for a response after their 2-1 loss to Sassuolo in midweek. Szczesny is in for Perin between the posts, while Chiellini and Sandro replace De Ligt and De Sciglio in defence. The final three alterations are in midfield, as Cuadrado replaces the unavailable Federico Chiesa on the wing, and McKennie and Locatelli are dropped for Arhur and Bentancur in the middle of the park.
Hellas Verona make six changes from their 1-1 draw with Udinese last time out. Veloso is pushed into midfield which means wholesale changes in defence as Dawidowicz, Gunter and Casale get the nod ahead of Magnani, Ceccherini and Hongla. Lazovic comes into midfield replacing Sutalo while in attack, Simeone and Caprari are preferred to Kalinic and Lasagna.
JUVENTUS SUBS: Carlo Pinsoglio, Federico Bernardeschi, Dejan Kulusevski, Luca Pellegrini, Manuel Pellegrini, Mattia Perin, Matthijs De Ligt, Weston McKennie, Kaio Jorge.

With 15 minutes to go before half-time, let’s take a look at how the two sides are lining up – starting with our hosts!
A shocking 95th minute goal from Maxime Lopez condemned Juventus to a 2-1 defeat at home against Sassuolo; their first league loss since a fixture against Napoli at the beginning of September. Sitting in seventh place, the Bianconeri could go level with Lazio in sixth should they manage the three points – after the Biancocelesti’s draw with Atalanta earlier today.
Igor Tudor welcomes his former club to the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi as Hellas Verona are looking to beat Juventus for the second time in four meetings. A late Antonin Barak penalty saw the Gialloblu take a point from Udinese last time out, which put them smack in the middle of the table in 10th place. Only Milan and Inter have scored more than Hellas so far this season, with their 22 goals level with league-leaders Napoli.
