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

Juventus desperately need to end their draw addiction amid an injury crisis, as Dusan Vlahovic, Nico Gonzalez and Kenan Yildiz start against troubled Monza.

It kicks off at the U-Power Stadium at 19.45 GMT.

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games on the Liveblog.

The Bianconeri are unbeaten in Serie A this season, but that doesn’t help when they have drawn more games than they’ve won and are sliding down the table.

Juventus have struggled with an injury crisis and while Nico Gonzalez has returned, they lost Danilo to an ankle sprain, along with Timothy Weah’s thigh strain.

Douglas Luiz, Arkadiusz Milik, Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal are still out of action too, with Andrea Cambiaso only fit for the bench, so Weston McKennie again has to be a makeshift left-back.

With that in mind, Nico Gonzalez starts in an unusual new role as trequartista flanked by Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz behind Vlahovic, dropping Teun Koopmeiners into midfield.

Monza are not doing any better when it comes to the absentee list, especially with star man Daniel Maldini suspended.

Milan Djuric, Matteo Pessina, Roberto Gagliardini, Alessio Cragno, Andrea Petagna, Samuele Vignato and Mattia Valoti are all out of action.

Alessandro Nesta’s men have just one win all season, 3-0 away to Verona, and if they don’t get a victory today will go into Christmas in last place.

They seem to have moved to a 4-4-2 formation.

Monza: Turati; Birindelli, D’Ambrosio, Pablo Marì, Carboni; Pedro Pereira, Bianco, Bondo, Kyriakopoulos; Caprari, Mota

Juventus: Di Gregorio; Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, McKennie; Koopmeiners, Locatelli; Conceicao, Gonzalez, Yildiz; Vlahovic
