Gigi Delneri is hoping that Alex Del Piero will give Juventus a much needed injection of creativity, adding the captain up front alongside Alessandro Matri. Perhaps a double - sandro is some sort of magical pairing that makes Juventus invincible?

In other Juve news, Alberto Aquilani returns from injury while Simone Pepe is back from suspension. As for Cesena, they've elected to not play their -sandro, regulating Alessandro Rosina to the bench as Erjon Bogdani returns from his suspension. It's quite possible that the Seahorses believe that pitting one Alessandro up against two others would result in their Alessandro disappearing, so they decided to play it safe.

Cesena Starting XI (likely 4-3-3): Antonioli; Santon, Pellegrino, Von Bergen, Lauro; Caserta, Colucci, Parolo; Jimenez, Bogdani, Giaccherini

Substitutes: Calderoni, Benalouane, Piangerelli, Ceccarelli, Appiah, Malonga, Rosina

Juventus Starting XI (likely 4-4-2): Buffon; Motta, Bonucci, Chiellini, Traore; Krasic, Marchisio, Aquilani, Pepe; Del Piero, Matri

Substitutes: Storari, Grygera, Sorensen, Buchel, Spinazzola, Martinez, Iaquinta.
