Current form: Juventus vs Genoa

As things stand, Juventus have won their first eight games in Serie A, and their first ten across all competitions. No other side in Europe's "Big 5" leagues have made a perfect start to the season, which arguably means that the Bianconeri are currently the strongest side in Europe at the moment. A six point lead has the reigning Scudetto champions sitting comfortably in the lead, and certainly the hosts will hope to continue their free-scoring ways when the Grifone come to town on Saturday.

Star attacker Cristiano Ronaldo has started to find his groove with his new team, and having been given time off during the international break will again be expected to play a key role for La Vecchia Signora. So far, the 33-year-old has four goals - and four assists - to his name, making him his team's most influential player and he's bound to be involved in more goals as the season progresses. Yet, he has some ways to go to catch the surprise name who continues to lead the goal-scoring charts, although it will not be too long before that gap starts to narrow if history is any indicator.

Meanwhile, despite a solid start to the season, Genoa shockingly decided to sack coach Davide Ballardini and bring Ivan Juric back into the fold. Why they opted to make that change remains to be seen, but the Grifone have won three of their last five games and will be heavily relying on their Polish striking sensation, Krzysztof Piątek to try to help inspire them as they will be up against one of the strongest defenses in the league. Only Sampdoria, who have conceded four goals, have conceded fewer times than Juve's five so far this season.

Current position: Juventus vs Genoa

Juventus are currently first in the table, six points ahead of second-placed Napoli, who will take on Udinese later today, so regardless of whatever happens here, Massimiliano Allegri's men will be top of the table at the end of this matchday.

Genoa, meanwhile, sit in 12th spot on 12 points. If the Grifone manage to pull off a major upset and beat Juventus at the Allianz Stadium, however, they could rise as high as fifth place depending on what happens in Roma's game against SPAL. At the very least, the visitors could find themselves in the top half of the table if they can get a positive result from this match.

Team news: Juventus vs Genoa

Juventus: Douglas Costa returns from suspension and could thus be reinstated to the squad, but both Sami Khedira and Daniele Rugani are definite absentees due to injuries. Paulo Dybala is in doubt due to an injury sustained while on duty with Argentina over the international break. With the Champions League coming up, Dybala could be rested to give him time to fully recover - especially as it's a crunch clash against Manchester United looming on the horizon.

Genoa: No missing players
