Andrea Pirlo has recovered in time to start tonight’s top of the table showdown between Lazio and Juventus, but Tommaso Rocchi also plays.

The two teams were joint leaders going into this Serie A round and it is a real test of their Scudetto credentials.

The Bianconeri needed a last-minute fitness test to see whether Pirlo would recover from a knock to the knee.

The veteran midfielder does start with Claudio Marchisio in midfield, while it’s a special game for ex-Roma hitman Mirko Vucinic.

Lazio are without Andre Dias, Stefano Mauri, Francelino Matuzalem and Libor Kozak.

Djibril Cisse has been dropped to the bench as his goal drought continues, so ex-Juventus youth product Rocchi starts alongside Miroslav Klose.

[Halfsharkgator]

[DeviAngel]

SIMONE PEPE !!!



Bonucci we must buy CB

[Camurrìa.Sto.Stronzo]

All credit for the goal goes to Matri and Vucinic. NOT Pepe.

Vucinic with the great pass to Matri... Great vision to find Matri and turn it around for a counter.
Matri... with the run... staying onside and great vision to see Pepe in the Box
All Pepe had to do was shoot it in.

and he did just that he scored common he has socred 3 goals he is good so far and so far the best choice there with Krasic out of form and the field he covers


as for bonucci ?

btw has any1 noticed that bandage on Pirlo's knee ? It wasn't there until mid of the game than pirlo went to the bench and they put the bandage on his knee

[Camurrìa.Sto.Stronzo]

It was there all game on Pirlo

[DeviAngel]

It was there all game on Pirlo

If we score another goal I would take out Pirlo put Pazzienza or revert to 4-4-2 with Marchisio - Vidal or -Pazzienza-Vidal-Marchisio


We musn't risk him btw wasn't that Elia warming up there ! ?

[Camurrìa.Sto.Stronzo]

Elia is not even on the bench

[Halfsharkgator]

Yea they had to fix the bandage a couple times Cause it kept falling.. But I think he was wearing it from the start

[DeviAngel]

Elia is not even on the bench

[Halfsharkgator]

Yea credit to matri and vucinic for the goal but Pepe still made a very good run and nice finish on marchetti..

[Camurrìa.Sto.Stronzo]

Elia is not even on the bench

than its ESTI !

I still can't believe he's not on the bench... Maybe for the Napoli game? Who knows...

Even Krasic I think.

[Halfsharkgator]

No marchisio against Napoli

[Camurrìa.Sto.Stronzo]

Giaccherini sucks

[DeviAngel]

No marchisio against Napoli

Don't remind me (((

[inderbaby]

Juventus are the best team in Italy so far this season! Brilliant

[Luca]

Pepe
honestly!

He is average, he does work hard, he does lack an end product but with the way Juventus plays I cannot hate on anyone, just brilliant

What a well worked goal, should have had more
Bonucci, scared me in the first half but was composed in the second half
Matri worked so hard
I thought the Vucinic sub was strange and I would have liked to see Quagliarella in earlier, he may have scored!

No Marchisio against Napoli will hurt
