A place in the Coppa Italia semi-finals is at stake when Juventus host Lazio in a heavyweight clash in Turin.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side have had a chaotic season so far and plummeted into mid-table earlier this month after being handed a 15-point deduction amid an investigation into financial wrongdoing.
The Coppa Italia could well prove to be their best route to European qualification for next season, but they have a tricky task against Maurizio Sarri’s in-form Lazio side.
The Romans thrashed AC Milan 4-0 last week and are on a five-match unbeaten run, while Juve were humbled 2-0 at home to Monza at the weekend.
Kick-off is at 8pm GMT.
Team news
Allegri still has to deal with a backlog of injuries that includes Federico Chiesa, Juan Cuadrado and Leonardo Bonucci.
However, Dusan Vlahovic and Paul Pogba have recently returned to fitness.
Lazio’s squad has a clean bill of health, with top scorer Ciro Immobile returning to action after a knock during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Fiorentina.

VPN guide
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
