-----------------------------------
Juventus
Juventus already have a list of injured players out of the equation, and the club might end up losing another defender in the transfer window. Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal have been ruled out for the remainder of the season, while Danilo is out of the picture as he looks to make a move away.
Recent developments have linked Andrea Cambiaso with a move to Manchester City, with the two clubs currently engaged in talks. With him likely to sit out, Weston McKennie will deputise at left-back, and the American has done well in the role previously.
Francisco Conceicao will not be able to play against the team managed by his father, meaning Nico Gonzalez will keep his place on the right, thus allowing Kenan Yildiz to operate from the left.
Another player linked with a move away, Dusan Vlahovic, will continue to lead the line. Fans will want to see a glimpse of the new arrival of Randal Kolo Muani, although his participation in this game is not guaranteed as of now.
AC Milan
AC Milan have a few concerns ahead of this trip to Turin, as key trio Christian Pulisic, Alvaro Morata and Malick Thiaw were forced off with injuries against Como. For now, only the latter has been ruled out of the game, while Morata is suspended for this one.
There are doubts about Pulisic’s participation, but Sergio Conceicao will hope to have him in some capacity for this crunch encounter. Samuel Chukwueze, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Alessandro Florenzi are already out with problems, while Matteo Gabbia could be in for another start in the heart of the Rossoneri defence.
Fikayo Tomori should take the other central position, while Emerson Royal and Theo Hernandez feature in the full-back roles. Youssouf Fofana and Ismael Bennacer will be able to operate in the midfield double pivot, with Tijjani Reijnders operating in the advanced role for Milan. Pulisic might cut into the starting lineup, while Rafael Leao will operate from the left as Tammy Abraham leads the line.
Juventus possible starting lineup:
Di Gregorio; Savona, Kalulu, Gatti, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram; Yildiz, Koopmeiners, McKennie; Gonzalez
AC Milan possible starting lineup:
Maignan; Emerson, Tomori, Gabbia, Hernandez; Fofana, Bennacer; Pulisic, Reijnders, Leao; Abraham

Prediction: Juventus 1-0 AC Milan
After a dull goalless draw in the league earlier this season - and an eventful encounter in the Supercoppa Italiana - it might be a one-goal game on Saturday. Both sides have several flaws - as evidenced by their modest placing in the table - but Juve's solid defence can frustrate most teams, and they may finally hang on to a lead.
