Official Serie A lineups, week 4

You can follow all the preparation and action for this game and for Empoli–Juventus live in the LIVEBLOG.

The Rossoneri are already feeling the pressure after a disastrous start to the season. They have only picked up two points in three rounds and have only managed 2-2 draws.

Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez were sensationally taken off the game against Lazio, but then scored the equaliser within 30 seconds of coming on and will start here tonight.

Since Alvaro Morata and Luka Jovic are not yet fully fit, Abraham is on the field in attack for the first time.

Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi and Marco Sportiello are injured. With Fikayo Tomori resting before the match against Liverpool in the Champions League, Matteo Gabbia has been given the nod in defence.

Venezia was promoted from Serie B via the play-offs, but is struggling under new coach Eusebio Di Francesco and has only picked up one point after three rounds.

Bjarki Bjarkason is out with a hernia, but Gaetano Oristanio will start alongside USMNT midfielder Gianluca Busio.
