Juventus will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of Serie A when they travel to the San Siro to face AC Milan on Sunday.

Antonio Conte's side sit nine points clear at the summit after their 1-0 victory over Torino last Sunday.

Juve come into this match off the back of a 2-0 win over Trabzonspor in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

Milan's form has improved under new coach Clarence Seedorf, with the Rossoneri winning their last two matches, the latest coming at Sampdoria last weekend.

Milan striker Mario Balotelli could miss the match with a shoulder injury, so Giampaolo Pazzini is expected to start should the Italy international fail to recover in time. Goalkeeper Christian Abbiati could return to the side after shaking off an illness.

Conte is expected to bring strikers Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente back into the side after the pair were named on the bench for the match against Trabzonspor.
