How Juventus could line up against Chievo

Ahead of Juventus's Serie A meeting with Chievo on Monday, Sports Mole looks at how the Italian champions could line up.

Juventus switch focus back to their Serie A title defence on Monday evening when they welcome Chievo to the Allianz Stadium.

The defending champions are nine points clear at the top of the table after dropping points in just two matches this season.

Chievo will look to take advantage of any fatigue that has crept in, though, as Juve travelled to the Middle East this week to take on AC Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana, winning that match 1-0 to become the competition's most successful team.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Massimiliano Allegri may set out his side.

Out: Juan Cuadrado, Andrea Barzagli, Mario Mandzukic, Medhi Benatia, Miralem Pjanic
Doubtful: Douglas Costa, Rodrigo Bentancur

Mandzukic will miss the remainder of the month with a muscular problem, forcing Allegri into a reshuffle in attack.

In the Croatian's absence, Paulo Dybala started through the middle against Milan, while Costa and matchwinner Cristiano Ronaldo were used in the wide positions.

Allegri may opt to freshen things up slightly in that department by introducing Federico Bernardeschi following the Italian winger's cameo appearance from the bench in midweek, with fitness doubt Costa the obvious fall guy.

Pjanic will sit this one out because of suspension, meanwhile, possibly giving Emre Can another chance to impress alongside Blaise Matuidi and Bentancur, though the latter is also carrying a thigh injury and may not be risked.
