Juventus head into the match against Napoli with two key players missing. Gianluigi Buffon is out with a thigh strain picked up on international duty, while Mirko Vucinic apparently contracted the plague while in Ukraine with Montenegro. It's Marco Storari that will deputize between the sticks, while Fabio Quagliarella comes in for Vucinic. Last time Quags partnered Sebastian Giovinco, Juventus struggled. The result? Their only draw, a goalless affair with Fiorentina.
Of course, if that pair doesn't work out, the Old Lady can always turn to Alessandro Matri or Nicklas Bendtner. Clearly it's the midfield that Napoli will fret over, not the forwards. Claudio Marchisio, Arturo Vidal and Andrea Pirlo can terrify almost any side.
Juventus Starting XI: Marco Storari, Andrea Barzagli, Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini; Stephan Lichsteiner, Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio, Kwadwo Asamoah; Fabio Quagliarella, Sebastian Giovinco
Substitutes (from): Rubinho, Laurențiu Brănescu, Lucio, Nicklas Bendtner, Alessandro Matri, Emanuele Giaccherini, Martin Caceres, Paul Pogba, Mauricio Isla, Luca Marrone, Simone Padoin
