Serie A line-ups: Udinese vs. Juventus | OneFootball

Juventus have Teun Koopmeiners and Kenan Yildiz supporting Dusan Vlahovic, but above all need to shore up their defence for a trip to Florian Thauvin’s surprise outfit Udinese.

It kicks off at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine at 17.00 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Bologna-Lecce and Monza-Milan on the Liveblog.

The Bianconeri have been leaking goals lately, drawing 4-4 at Inter, 2-2 with Parma and losing 1-0 to VfB Stuttgart in the Champions League.

Gleison Bremer is sorely missed with a torn ACL, so after two games with Danilo, it’s Federico Gatti alongside Pierre Kalulu this time.

Douglas Luiz, Nico Gonzalez, Arek Milik and Bremer are still out of action, but Koopmeiners and Yildiz return to the starting XI.

Udinese are only two points behind Juventus in the Serie A standings, but fumbled a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 against Venezia midweek when down to 10 men.

Isaak Touré is suspended over that dismissal, with Alexis Sanchez, Thomas Kristensen, Gerard Deulofeu and Arthur Atta on the treatment table.

The good news is the return of Thauvin for his first start since September 28.
