Juventus are decimated by injuries, so Tim Weah has to be a False 9 with support from Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz, visiting Lecce under new coach Marco Giampaolo.
It kicks off at the Stadio Via del Mare at 19.45 GMT.
The Bianconeri’s injury crisis just keeps getting worse, as they made the trip to Lecce without nine first team players, including Dusan Vlahovic, Nico Gonzalez, Weston McKennie, Nicolò Savona, Arek Milik, Douglas Luiz, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal.
After the dull 0-0 at Milan and identical result away to Aston Villa in the Champions League midweek, Weah is therefore again used as a False 9 with support from Conceicao, Teun Koopmeiners and Yildiz.
Coach Thiago Motta has a bench packed with kids from the youth system.

Lecce fired Luca Gotti during the break for international duty and made a strong impact with new boss Giampaolo, beating Venezia 1-0 at the Stadio Penzo.
Lameck Banda, Kevin Bonifazi and Balthazar Pierret are out of action, but Medon Berisha returns to the squad.
