Juventus travel to the Stadio Olimpico to face Lazio in Serie A this weekend as they look to begin their charge back up the table.

Juan Cuadrado's stoppage time winner against Fiorentina last time out spared the Old Lady's blushes, with Juve having lost in their two league outings prior to that victory.

Massimiliano Allegri's men face an uphill battle to claw themselves back into title contention, although victory in the Italian capital this weekend would go a long way to restoring their belief.

Here's how Juventus could line up...

Wojciech Szczesny (GK) - Missed the win over Fiorentina with a rib injury, but played in both of Poland's matches on international duty.

Danilo (RB) - A classy operator, comfortable in possession while also remaining composed defensively.

Leonardo Bonucci (CB) - His distribution out of defence will be vital for Juventus.

Matthijs de Ligt (CB) - The Dutchman is reportedly in talks over extending his stay in Turin.

Alex Sandro (LB) - Tasked with providing the width on the left-hand side for Allegri as Rabiot tends to tuck infield.

2. Midfielders

Federico Chiesa (RM) - Allegri may look to Cuadrado after his stoppage time heroics against Fiorentina, but the Italy international offers a more consistent threat over 90 minutes.

Weston McKennie (CM) - An energetic presence, with Juve having profited from his ability to break into the penalty box on a few ocassions this season.

Manuel Locatelli (CM) - The calm head in midfield, capable of putting his foot on the ball and allowing Juventus to construct attacks.

Adrien Rabiot (LM) - Allegri tends to like the Frenchman's defensive solidity on the left-hand side.

3. Forwards
