The Bianconeri remain three points shy of Como in fourth place with eight matches of the season left to go. Luciano Spalletti’s side will be slightly relieved to see sixth-placed Roma beaten 5-2 away against Inter on Sunday evening, which means that there is no risk of Juve being overtaken regardless of today’s result

Visitors Genoa find themselves in 14th place ahead of kick-off. An against-the-odds victory away against Juventus on Sunday will take them up to 12th place in the Serie A standings. A draw or a loss will see them stay in 14th for another week. 

Juventus have a relatively clean bill of health heading into Sunday’s clash at the Allianz Stadium. 

Vlahovic is available, but remains unlikely to start as he works his way back to full fitness after recently returning from his long-term injury lay-off. Spalletti confirmed as much during his pre-match press conference, but added that “he could give us a hand.” 

Mattia Perin remains the favourite to start in goal instead of Michele Di Gregorio, and other than a slight doubt as to whether Jonathan David or Jeremie Boga will start up front, it is likely to be the same Juventus XI that started against Sassuolo before the break.

Genoa’s Brooke Norton-Cuffy is unavailable with a hamstring injury and could be replaced by either Stefano Sabelli or Aaron Martin according to Sky Sport Italia.

There are also some doubts as to who Daniele De Rossi will start in attack, with all of Vitinha, Junior Messias, Tommaso Baldanzi and Caleb Ekuban vying for a spot in the starting XI. 

Kick-off is due at 17.00 BST.
