Team news
Empoli
Empoli are yet to find the perfect replacement for Valdifiori. In as much as Assane Diousse has been instrumental to Marco Giampaolo’s side, he has been struggling in the past few games. Raffaele Maiello could start, including Marcel Buchel who will most likely replace the injured Daniele Croce.
Juventus
Sami Khedira makes a return to the squad after suffering a calf injury. Stephan Lichtsteiner is also ready to play for Juve in the league after featuring in the Champions League against Borussia Monchengladbach. The Zebras will however miss the services of Roberto Pereyra and Kwadwo Asamoah who have been sidelined due to hamstring and thigh injuries respectively. Meanwhile, Juve’s star player Paul Pogba has urged their fans to come out in large numbers to support the team.

Speaking to JTV, the 22-year-old France international said:
"We need them (the fans) as much as when we're doing badly as when we're doing well.’’
"In the 80th or 90th minute, just hearing 'Forza Juve' gives you strength. You want to do something for them, for the team, and they help you a lot.’’
"It's a tough game, it's away from home. Before we go away with our national teams we want to win, we want to get closer to the top."
