Juventus VS Livorno

Juventus are still without Andrea Barzagli and have Arturo Vidal suspended for their game with injury-hit Livorno.

It kicks off on Monday at 18.00 UK time (17.00 GMT).

Angelo Ogbonna returns to the squad, but Barzagli remains sidelined along with Simone Pepe.

Vidal sits out a Serie A ban after he was also suspended for the Europa League quarter-final against Lyon on Thursday.

Carlos Tevez hobbled off during that 1-0 win in France and is in the squad, but could well be rested tomorrow.

Livorno have to do without Andrea Luci, Emerson and Ibrahima Mbaye, as they are all sidelined, but there are no disciplinary concerns for Coach Mimmo Di Carlo.

Juventus squad for Livorno: Buffon, Chiellini, Caceres, Ogbonna, Pogba, Marchisio, Vucinic, Tevez, Giovinco, Peluso, Llorente, Osvaldo, Bonucci, Padoin, Pirlo, Asamoah, Lichtsteiner, Quagliarella, Storari, Isla, Rubinho

Livorno squad for Juventus: Bardi, Anania, Aldegani; Piccini, Gemiti, Coda, Ceccherini, Mesbah, Castellini, Valentini, Tiritiello; Biagianti, Duncan, Greco, Mosquera, Benassi, Bartolini; Siligardi, Paulinho, Borja, Emeghara, Belfodil

On fifa?

Vucinic - Giovinco on attack...Vucinic looks hungry for playing time and Giovinco wants to prove himself to saty another season so that duo could get us this game

This may be the starting formation:

Gianluigi Buffon

Giorgio Chiellini

Martin Caceres

Leonardo Bonucci

Paul Pogba

Claudio Marchisio

Andrea Pirlo

Kwadwo Asamoah

Stephan Lichtsteiner

Mirko Vucinic

Pablo Osvaldo

I would love to see Gio in place for Tevez and Vuci for Llorente but ...

2-0 Juve....

Nice goal by Llorente. That's all iv been asking for.. Enough of laying people off. Turn and shoot.

Hopefully it boosts his confidence.

Just as I type that he scores another

2-0

Hahahaahahahah... YEP AT LAST llorente scores by his feet!!!

every time he shaves he is beast. He needs to be more selfish he has it in him to be regular goal scorer

Surprisingly great foot technique by Llorente there, beautiful goal. Second one was lucky and keeper had a great part in it but still a nice header.

We are pressing them like f*ck, that's what you would expect from us in general though.

This is JUVE style this first half I love it

Pogba needs to be benched I see he is nervous

as always

Very surprised that Mehrente scored a brace let alone scored in what is the worst form I've seen from him since 2005. Stats say otherwise in what has been very overlooked and underrated contribution when not scoring yet it does not excuse him from the drop of form to which I stress was more than pure fatigue.

If anyone could post GIFs of his goals it would be appreciated.

1st goal was RVP esque technique, exactly what we've been crying for from him(selfishness) instead of always laying the ball backwards and destroying attacks,

MOTM performance from him today no doubt....

He didn't look happy though when he got subbed out.

Journalisti really fired him up pre-match as I've said Llorente under pressure is far better than a Llorente who knows there is a figurative cushion that he can rest on. 1st goal was a typical Llorente goal with that turn and left-footed shot.

Juventus as a whole when playing more Llorente and actually bringing their midfield forward has Llorente play a lot better given he gets more touches than staying on the CBs shoulder.


@Salmano: Usually hates to be subbed off. Its the Lion in him
