The Bianconeri use the 4-3-3 formation again at the Bentegodi, with Douglas Costa, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain.

“Maurizio Sarri’s Juve is already clearly defined, as we’ve had some very good performances, though facing one every three days means games can’t always be at the same standard.

“We have to take it one at a time and concentrate just on this evening,” the director told DAZN.

There were reports in the papers this morning that Juventus are in talks to extend Dybala’s contract to June 2025.

“He is a fundamental player, the Juventus Number 10, we know what he represents for us and his value. We’ve already had some initial discussions before January, agreed to talk further nearer to the end of the season, but having said that, we have a large squad with a great deal of competition for places.”
