Current form: Empoli vs Juventus
Although Genoa became the first side to nick points off Juventus when they held the Bianconeri to a 1-1 draw last round, Massimiliano Allegri's side are still unbeaten not just in the league, but in all competitions. The visitors come into this game having earned a 1-0 win over Manchester United thanks to a goal from Paulo Dybala, which takes them to the top of their Champions League quartet and pretty much secures their spot in the round of 16.
Allegri could make some changes for this game, with Dybala given a rest in lieu of Federico Bernadeschi, but star striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who made his return to action midweek after serving one-match ban will likely feature here. The 33-year-old netted in Juve's 1-1 draw with Genoa last round and so far has five goals, making him his team's top goalscorer in the league and will want to add more to his growing tally to close the gap on Genoa's Piatek, who still continues to lead the way after racing into an early start with nine goals.
As for Empoli, they come into this game having drawn 3-3 with Frosinone and have won just one game all season. To put it simply, the Azzurri are in dire straights at the moment and will face a monumental task to beat a side who are undefeated in their last 17 away games.
Current position: Empoli vs Juventus
Juventus are currently first in the table, four points ahead of second-placed Napoli, who will take on Roma on Sunday, so regardless of whatever happens here, Massimiliano Allegri's men will be top of the table at the end of this matchday.
Empoli, by contrast, sit in 18th spot and are facing a battle to avoid the drop.
