Reigning champions Juventus will be searching for their fourth straight victory when they host Milan in Turin, with the Rossoneri desperate to improve on the poor start to the season.

Having won back to back Serie A titles, the Bianconeri have become the team to beat in Italy, although it is clear their title defence will be much more difficult this term than they expected.

The club chiefs have done a good job by recruiting the likes of Tevez, Llorente and Ogbonna, and they have in turned started the season in bright manner.

While hammering Lazio 4-0 in the Italian Super Cup, Juventus won five of six games in Serie A to pick up 16 points, but that was surprisingly only enough for a third place in the standings.

Given that Roma and Napoli continue to impress, the Bianconeri need to see off Milan if they are to remain near the top, with home win paying 1.62 (5/8) at William Hill.

After scoring three goals in first six league matches for the club, Carlos Tevez is 2.25 (5/4) with 888sport to add to his tally.

Boss Antonio Conte faces has some selection problems considering that Stephan Lichtsteiner is doubtful and Mirko Vucinic, Simone Pepe, Martin Caceres and Rubinho are on the sidelines.

Probable starting line-up (3-5-2): Buffon – Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini – Isla, Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal, Asamoah – Tevez, Quagliarella.

AC Milan have had a much worse start than their rivals, with performances on the travels proving to be a huge problem.

While looking somewhat convincing at San Siro, the Rossoneri have been utterly disappointing on the road, failing to win any of their five away fixtures.

When we also know they have scored very late goals to avoid defeats against Torino, Bologna and Ajax, it is perfectly clear Milan go into this match as clear underdogs.

Given that star striker Mario Balotelli misses out through suspension, it is hardly surprising away win pays 6.50 (11/2) at BetVictor.

Even if he is used to by now to genuine selection headache, Max Allegri will not be happy to have some star men unavailable.

Giampaolo Pazzini, Mattia De Sciglio, Daniele Bonera, Kaka, Stephan El Shaarawy, Valter Birsa and Matias Silvestre are all in the infirmary.

Probable starting line-up (4-3-1-2): Abbiati – Abate, Mexes, Zapata, Emanuelson – Poli, De Jong, Muntari – Montolivo – Robinho, Matri.
