Juventus are out to extend their Serie A streak to 5 consecutive wins when they travel to play Roma in a heated league encounter.
Roma are in fifth place with 44 points and can leapfrog AC Milan into fourth if they can muster a win here.
Meanwhile, Juve have been on a steady rise since their point deduction and now sit in seventh place with 35 points.
Roma were stunned 2-1 by Cremonese in their last outing, with the bottom side making it two wins against Jose Mourinho’s side this season.
Mourinho has won just two games against Juventus in the Italian top flight and could potentially be suspended from the touchline in this match.
Juventus have won two of their three most recent games against Roma, and have also come out on top in three of the last four meetings between the sides.
The reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw in Turin and Juventus come into the game on the back of a seven-game unbeaten streak.
Juve have won six of their last seven Serie A away games and an impressive seven clean sheets in 11 away games is their best tally at this stage since 1982.
