How Juventus could line up against Napoli

Sports Mole looks at how Juventus could line up in Sunday night's Serie A clash with Napoli.

Juventus will travel to Napoli on Sunday night knowing that a win would see them take a huge step towards securing their 35th Italian league title and their eighth in succession.

Indeed, 13 points currently separate leaders Juve from second-placed Napoli in Serie A, with Massimiliano Allegri's side yet to lose in the league this term.

Juve have comfortably the best away record in Italy's top flight this season, having recorded 11 victories and one draw on their travels, while they won the reverse clash with Napoli 3-1 back in September.

Napoli's last home league victory over Juve came in September 2015, while the Old Lady have won six of their last nine Serie A meetings, suffering just two defeats in the process.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at how Juve could line up on Sunday night.


POSS JUVE XI vs. NAP

Out: Sami Khedira (heart), Juan Cuadrado (knee), Douglas Costa (muscular)

Cristiano Ronaldo had been seen as a huge doubt for Juve due to ankle problem, but the Portugal international has been declared fit and will start in the final third of the field.

Douglas Costa, Sami Khedira and Juan Cuadrado are all still out for the visitors, but Miralem Pjanic is expected to recover from illness to start in the middle of the park.

Federico Bernardeschi is pushing for a spot in the XI, meanwhile, but Rodrigo Bentancur is expected to get the nod in the middle of the park alongside Pjanic and Blaise Matuidi.

Paulo Dybala came off the bench to score the only goal of the match against Bologna last weekend and should return to the side along with Giorgio Chiellini and Wojciech Szczesny.
